Re: [xmonad] lockup when starting gvim in terminal

Excerpts from Jesus Sanchez's message of Fri Oct 07 05:24:40 -0600 2011:

Downgrading gvim from 7.3.322 to 7.3.266 fixed the locking issue on my system.

Gentoo Linux 3.0.4 x64 - xorg-1.10.4 - libX11-1.4.4 - xmonad-0.9.2 - gvim-7.3.266

Hmm, this one's puzzling. I've seen neither startup nor quit problems with gvim using either 7.3.322 (~ two months) or 266 (this week) versions. This is running gvim from shell, GNU screen, runOrRaise prompt, or started by firefox/pentadactyl to edit an input form. FWIW gvim immediately becomes a child of init here, rather than staying in foreground. Also running gentoo with 3.0.4 kernel xorg-server-1.11.1 libX11-1.4.4 -- regards, wmw
