I've made sure that all of the user files are owned by my user, so
that shouldn't be the issue.

I checked the command getting executed when starting cream was
identical to the one you provided. I ran the command directly in the
terminal and found that I didn't have the environment variable
VIMRUNTIME set. So, I set this to '/usr/share/vim', once I did that I
received the following error:

Error detected while processing function Cream_menus:
line    4:
E484: Can't open file /usr/share/vim/delmenu.vim
Error detected while processing function Cream_colors_reset:
line    3:
E484: Can't open file /usr/share/vim/syntax/syntax.vim

So, I thought aha! this must be the problem. Well I found that these
files are located under the vim72 folder, so updated VIMRUNTIME to be
'/usr/share/vim/vim72', which then it couldn't find the cream folder,
since that was under the '/usr/share/vim' folder. So I copied the
cream folder into the 'vim72' folder. Once I did that cream started
correctly with no errors. However, wait for it.....there was still no
menu. On top of that I ran good chown -R across the whole vim
directory and still had no luck.

Should VIMRUNTIME be set by default when I install the vim packages?
Also, do you know exactly what directory this should be pointed at, I
assume that I shouldn't have had to move the cream directory or any
files for that matter in order to get it to start correctly.

Thanks again for all your help,
Bryan
