Description Joel Parker 2004-03-13 19:41:57 UTC 
gvim should put a menu item in the GNOME Applications menu, probably under the "Programming" submenu.

Reproducible: Always

We should probably wait for a resolution to GLEP 16 before doing this.
Comment 2 Ciaran McCreesh 2004-06-02 14:52:43 UTC 
If someone gives me an example desktop file before vim63 is released I'll add it in. I don't use Gnome myself, so I'm not entirely sure how this works...
Comment 3 Ciaran McCreesh 2004-06-08 17:51:04 UTC 
Can't fix this one without more information. Feel free to reopen with a sample desktop file.

Created attachment 39134 [details]
gvim.desktop

This is what I use.

Note that it references an icon by name as "gvim"; this means that currently an
icon will only be displayed if the current icon theme contains an icon called
gvim. (I know Lila does, but not many others.) The "gtkvim" icon is part of
Gnome, but is ugly as something very ugly.

I suggest that if this is to be used, an icon should be installed to
/usr/share/pixmaps/gvim.xpm (it will then be used if the icon theme does not
contain a gvim icon). I think http://www.vim.org/images/vim32x32.xpm is
appropriate; it's small enough (1371 bytes) to put in files/.

Will include in the next revbump. Thanks.

Included in gvim-6.3-r2.
