Re: Determining if Vim is running in text-console mode or X Windows

Hmm. You say in your original message that you have tried
has("gui_running"). This works for me (and has for a long time).

As a test, I put

let my_has_gui_running = has("gui_running")

early in my .vimrc. If I start vim from the command line and type

:echo my_has_gui_running

I get 0. If I do the same with gvim (or vim -g) I get 1. Using

if has("gui_running")
echo "has gui_running"
else
echo "does not have gui_running"
endif

in .vimrc prints (to the terminal before setting up the vim screen) the
correct string for both vim and gvim.

I am using vim 7.2.445 from Debian squeeze.
