Re: How to maximize my vim window when I start it?

[John Doe]

I am using the gentoo distro, which has gvim 7.0.17 with some gentoo
patches applied. You did not tell, whether you tried the 'set lines=999
columns=999' twice in a row. Anyway, the plain setting does not work for
 me at all in .vimrc even though it does work after some delay, after
gvim has loaded. Setting lines and columns to a large number twice
always produces the strange effects I was writing about.
