Hi, I am using ubuntu Jaunty, I have a problem, here are the reproduction steps: 1. Create a file e.g. "test.txt" 2. Open in nautilus by right-clicking and choosing "Open with GVim Text Editor" 3. Try running another program in the background e.g. "!xterm &" The program will not run. However "!xterm" works and also if I open the file by opening a terminal and running "gvim test.txt" then "!xterm &" does work. Anyone have any idea what is happening and how to fix it?
