Your .gvimrc will run only one time at Vim startup. At Vim startup,
filetype is probably an empty string. Thus, wombat will always be set.
In order to run code every time you load a file, you need to use an
autocmd. See :help autocmd. The particular event you want is probably
the "FileType" event, which will fire every time you set a file type
or one is set automatically. See :help FileType.
