kvim used to be a KDE project to develop a Vim GUI based on Qt widgets. You can test for it by means of has("gui_kde"), which tests TRUE in those obsolete builds only, and FALSE in all other Vim builds. Its 'guifont' format was incompatible with the format used by all other flavours of gvim. That project was occasionally mentioned on the vim-dev list a year or two ago, but it has now been abandoned (at some point between Vim 6.2 and 6.3 IIUC). > > How do you home-made a kvim?

I still have a 6.2.14 version of kvim but what I normally use is Vim 7 with Gnome2 GUI (i.e., GTK2 and GNOME). The advantage (for me) over plain GTK2 is that it saves its session transparently when I close the kde window manager. It is enabled by the --enable-gnome-check option to configure (or by "export CONF_OPT_GUI='--enable-gnome-check'" [with the single quotes and without the double quotes] in bash prior to running "make config" or "make reconfig"). > > -- > Sincerely, Pan, Shi Zhu. ext: 2606 > > Best regards, Tony.
