Invoke "vim --clean -? |less" at bash prompt in konsole. Yes, vim, not
gvim; or as qualified to get to the proper binary (on my system,
vim-huge for Gnome2, vim for Big GTK2 without Gnome, vim-small for
Motif, or vi for no GUI; all these are the names of ELF executables
[not symlinks] in /usr/local/bin/)
Results are OK when compiled with GTK2 without Gnome, with Motif, or
without GUI.
When compiled with GTK2 with Gnome, the display ends (after a short
but noticeable wait near the end) in
GNOME GUI Library
--disable-crash-dialog Disable Crash Dialogue
E852: The child process failed to start the GUI
Press ENTER or type command to continue
It is then necessary to blind-type :q in Vim (which displays garbage
at the bottom of the screen) then type q in less in order to come back
to the bash prompt.
Could it be because the g near the end of "vim-huge" is mistakenly
interpreted as meaning that I want to invoke gvim? Adding -v anywhere
before the |less redirection gives "Warning: Output is not to a
terminal" then what looks like a garbled version of the :intro screen,
as if the -? switch had been disregarded.
Best regards,
Tony.
