In
*gui_x11.txt* For Vim version 7.0. Last change: 2006 Apr 30
at lines 409-410, there is:
----------8<----------
GNOME is automatically compiled with if it was found by configure.
(FIXME: Is this still true? Use --enable-gnome-check to force it to.)
---------->8----------
Experiment shows that the line
----------8<----------
export CONF_OPT_GUI='--enable-gnome-check'
---------->8----------
(setting an additional environment variable before doing "make reconfig"
in the src/ subdirectory), with no change in the non-Vim software
installed, causes building of "GTK2-GNOME GUI" instead of "GTK2 GUI".
IOW, the check is not automatic.
Inspection of src/Makefile shows that the fact is probably intentional:
at line 321:
----------8<----------
# Gnome is disabled by default, it may cause trouble.
---------->8----------
I suggest replacing the two lines above in the helpfile by:
----------8<----------
GNOME is not compiled automatically. Use --enable-gnome-check to have
configure check for it, and compile it if possible.
---------->8----------
I don't see how to move the menubar and toolbar about, as mentioned
under ":help gui-gnome". Does it require the GNOME window manager? (I
tested it under KDE.)
Best regards,
Tony
