Package: vim-gui-common
Version: 1:7.1.314-3+lenny2
Severity: normal

If you invoke gvim with "-f" option (for example, if you open gvim from debian 
menu), then you 
cannot execute a program in background from the shell provided by gvim with the 
command "!". 

This minor bug has effects on some plugins, such as LatexSuite.

Example that works perfectly:

        ~$ gvim 
        :! xeyes &

Example that fails:
        
        ~$ gvim -f
        :! xeyes &

The program xeyes is launched but is killed almost instantanly.

Another example:
If you use the LatexSuite plugin, the command "\lv" for viewing DVI files does 
not work if you 
started the gvim program from the debian menu.

Thank you,
Sergio Llorente.
