Hi,

Just a hint for Ubuntu Feisty (probably applies to other Linux
distributions) users, who open tex files from nautilus using gvim. When
you open tex file from nautilus window, gvim does not set current
directory to the directory where the file is. This creates few problems
for vim-latex. I found two (possibly there are more):

1. ViewLateX command does not work, you cannot call xdvi or other viewer
using vim-latex
2. If you use bibliography with BibTeX, F9 completion does not work. 

All these problems goes away, if you set current directory to the
directory where the file resides. Here is the shortcut for  achieving
this:

nmap <F4> :exec 'cd '.expand("%:p:h")<CR> :echo getcwd()<CR>

Of course you can assign it to any keyboard shortcut you want to. 

I hope this hint will save somebody some time. It surely would have
saved mine.
