If you know synergy, you might understand, what I mean. :) I use Synergy to share a keyboard and a pair of monitors between two computers, one running Windows XP (the Synergy client) and the other running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (the Synergy server). I thought I might be able to contribute something to this discussion. However, I don't see the problem. While in an xterm window, I opened an existing text file using vim. Then, from another xterm window, I opened the same file using gvim. Gvim displayed the "VIM - ATTENTION" pop-up saying that the swap file already exists. The pop-up appeared to be centered over the gvim window. I clicked on "Open Read-Only" and the pop-up closed, but my mouse pointer stayed exactly where it was on the screen. I repeated the experiment, starting vim as "vim -u NONE myfoo" and starting gvim as "gvim -u NONE" and the results were the same. I'm afraid I don't have access to a box running either Ubuntu or Debian. I'm using Synergy 1.3.1 and Vim 7.2.411, normal version with GTK2 GUI.
