I found the bug, maybe this can help others.
In the "compiler.vim" file located in ~/.vim/ftplugin/latex-suite on
line 289, change the line
let execString = s:viewer.' $*.'.s:target.' &'
to
let execString = s:viewer.' $*.'.s:target
i.e. remove the ampersand which opens the process in the background.
For some reason on Ubuntu 8.10 using gvim 7.1, the evince (or other
viewers) will not open when there's an ampersand but will open without
it. (Why??)
