Package: vim-gtk
Version: 2:8.0.0197-2
Severity: important

In order to reproduce the bug:

- use a tiled window manager (wm): i'm using awesome for that, not sure about
  others.
- load vim-gtk in a wm tab in 'max' mode.
- create a new vim tab with :tabnew.
- switch to another wm tab and switch back to the gvim-gtk wm tab.

You will se a grey window with a blinking cursor. After hitting a ctrl-L the vim text
will appear correclyi, but all other vim-gtk window objects will be lost 
(icons, menus, etc.). That needs to be done again after all wm tab switching, 
which is a pain for any decent gvim use.
