Re: Ubuntu packages of latest Vim? (to fix bug)

Building your own vim from the Mecurial repository is much easier than
you might expect. For Ubuntu start with

sudo apt-get build-dep vim-gnome

then follow Tony's instructions at http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm

Not showing the menu bar is a Unity thing, not vim's fault. Mousing
over the bar at the top of the screen (not the vim window) might,
depending on the invocation of gvim, show you vim's menu bar there.
There's workarounds, by setting an environment variable before
invoking vim. (Unless you are keen on Unity, I suggest defecting to
Kubuntu.)
