gvim used to fork and run in the background. 7.2 doesn't seem to do this.
Well, it does for most. How are you invoking gvim? I'd suspect an
alias or script getting in the way.
Try
gvim -u NONE
That'll be a start at tracking down the cause of your difficulty.
Also, you may want to use the full path name to gvim (e.g.,
/usr/bin/gvim) to avoid local scripts, functions or aliases.
When I do that, it still doesn't fork (although I can tell I am not getting
local scripts because the font that is set in my .vimrc is no longer being
used.)
I managed to "solve" my problem by downloading gvim 7.3 and using that instead
of the 7.2.284 that comes with Mandriva. When I download it myself and compile
it myself, it forks.
