To add some more information, when I experience this bug, the Unity desktop places the bottom of the gvim window below the displayable region of the screen. There is an approximately 30 second delay between starting gvim and the appearance of the warning.
After the warning appears, gvim redraws the buffer, tending to scroll down several lines. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771810 Title: gvim occasionally shows error "Unable to register window with path...
