Thanks for your suggestion! I checked the whole directory, but there
is no hidden configuration file or similar stuff with wrong
permissions. In fact, it is a new installation, with no personal
customisation (I'll add vimlatex, which I use almost every day, after
solving the problem). The funny thing is that "sometimes" the menu
displays playing with "setguioptions+=m", but I can't find any rule to
know when it happens. Maybe the notorious file gnome2/Vim, that sets
menu and toolbar positions, but I deleted the file with no success --
anyway it's written again next time.
As root, everything is OK, and this suggests some problems of
permissions, but of what?
Best regards,
