Re: gvim: how remove menu and toolbar, but keep original geometry

Thanks for your help, John, but no luck, I get the same behavior. My DE is called LXDE, I believe, with Openbox the WM.

I was thinking maybe Lubuntu's gvim is compiled to have no more than 42 lines, in which case I'll just live with it, keep using vim in xterm and only use gvim when I need to be able to see the full utf-8 character set.

On my KDE I get the behaviour you want.  What's your DE? 

Also, in case there's something in your set up, f.ex. something in the .vimrc which triggers the GUI to start before the setting of guioptions, try

    gvim --clean --cmd 'set go=aeik' -geom 80x80

If that works, you could move stuff around in the .vimrc and .gvimrc to find the cause.  Or, maybe put the set go in the alias.  I get your issue if I use :set lines= after gvim starts.

In KDE, I can force the size of gvim window, and make it larger than the screen, but having forced the size, it can't be changed subsequently.
