Public bug reported: After upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 I can no longer start gvim (from vim-gnome) from a terminal. It freezes and I have to xkill / force close it. I get the following message printed to the terminal window:
The application 'gvim' lost its connection to the display :0.0; most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the application. This makes sense, because I did kill/destroy the application. If I start gvim from the unity lense it works as expected.
