After recompiling vim from the current sources, I noticed the following bug: A :redraw command that is called during startup, causes gvim to print its screen view on the terminal -- as if vim were called. This happens when I run gvim from gnome-terminal.

no-one else on this list is having such a weird problem (or they are being very secretive about it) so if your compile was good, the next question might be answered by looking at the output from

Or they haven't tested it for themselves yet...

Unfortunately, I cannot tell which patch causes this but this bug must have been introduced after 340, I'd say.

which was about two months ago, and you're the first to report a
gui that doesn't come up

The bug report is not that the GUI does not come up, it's that the terminal that gVim is invoked from gets drawn by gVim, then the GUI does come up. The effect is somewhat like starting Vim in the terminal, then immediately typing ":gui".

...Which is, incidentally, the behavior I can reproduce by putting "redraw" in my .vimrc and then invoking gvim from a terminal.

While this is strange and definitely not correct behavior, the gVim session does appear to work fine once it is fully initialized.
