Manu missing: Ubuntu 11.04

I am sorry to ask again the same question after some years, but the
answer I received does not work now. To my excuse, I may say that I
probably helped someone else posting the answer I had received (see
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/vim/message/79922).

After installing afresh Ubuntu (version 11.04) gvim displays menus
only if I run it as root (superuser). If I run it as normal user I
find no way of displaying menus. The command "verbose set guioptions?"
displays "aegimrLtT". I tried to play with the settings of
~/gnome2/Vim, or even to delete this file, as I did 4 years ago, but
nothing changes. It must be either a PATH problem or a problem of
symlinks, I suspect.

ls -l `which gvim` gives
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2011-07-31 14:08 /usr/bin/gvim ->
/etc/alternatives/gvim
which on its turn points to /usr/bin/vim.gnome

I googled on the topic but did not find a solution -- better: some
solutions that did not work for me.

Many thanks for your kind help.
