I don't know if this will help or not, but I had a similar problem when I built pida for the first time. When I ran from the command line (only tried it in the directory from which I built) everything would launch fine but if I installed and tried to launch from GNOME, I wouldn't be able to select VIM. I don't remember if I could select other editors or not, though.

It turns out that the problems was missing dependencies when I built. Specifically, I was missing the dbus-python-devel package (I use fedora, not sure what the ubuntu equivalent is) so that might be the source of your problems.

Hope this helps,

Tim

I have a really weird error. I installed PIDA this morning from the
mercurial trunk. I did it by running using checkinstall in combination
with the python distutils. (I ran "sudo checkinstall python setup.py
intall --prefix /usr", which installed properly and made deb
packages.)

I use Vim as my preferred editor component. When I launch PIDA from
the terminal with the command "pida" it works perfectly fine. But if I
launch it from a GNOME launcher, using either the menu or GNOME Do, it
insists it can't find the GVim python bindings and gives me only Emacs
as an editor choice.

This is really weird, and I'm not sure what's the matter. I can't read
any console output to show any errors because whenever I launch it
from the console it works. Any hints on how to figure out what's wrong
would be much appreciated.
