Hi
I didn't follow you problem from the beginning, but scanning through
this mail
I thought to give you the heads up about Patch 7.3.717, which relates to
font /window size.
If your vim is before that (:version), then give 7.3.717+ a try.
Regard, Roland

Not sure it's a gvim problem or fluxbox. I start gvim from
fluxbox menuitem 'run', then I get a very big gvim window on the
virtual screen. It's title bar locates far outside of the screen,

Does anyone have a clue? Thanks!
It sounds like your ~/.fluxbox/apps file might contain the stored
dimensions of gvim and is restoring them on startup. If so, you
should be able to remove the corresponding setting lines and use
Fluxbox->Reconfigure (I don't remember exactly where that Fluxbox
menu option is stored by default since I've rejiggered my own menu)
I removed gvim info from the ~/.fluxbox/apps, but the strange behavior
keeps same.
Alternatively, you might have some sort of :winpos command in your
(g)vimrc file that is moving the window to someplace you don't want.
I removed everything from my .(g)vimrc and .vim directory, then I found
the behavior is caused by a single line:
set guifont=Bitstream\ Vera\ Sans\ Mono\ 11
That means, if I changed the font from my rc file, the gvim window will
become very large and I cannot even find its title bar to move it. But
the strange behavior won't happen if I start gvim from kconsole or rxvt.
I think this is a gvim problem, right?
As an aside, I have the following in my ~/.fluxbox/keys file that
allow me to slam a window to the corresponding top/bottom/left/right
side of the screen:
Mod4 Left :MoveTo 0 *
Mod4 Right :MoveTo 0 * Right
Mod4 Up :MoveTo * 0
Mod4 Down :MoveTo * 0 Bottom
Thanks for this. But when I doing this in my .fluxbox/keys, things
broken. When I pressed the Win key + Left, my window simply disappeared
and I cannot find out where it is. What I can do then, is to kill it
from command line.
