Menus in Gvim under Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal)

The text editor Gvim has menus that aren’t compatible with the new Unity window manager in Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal). To get around this, you can tell Ubuntu to fall-back to the old Gnome style menus by setting the UBUNTU_MENUPROXY environment variable to null:


UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= gvim filename.ext
