Hi vimmers, Sorry for sending this mail for the second time because my previous mail with attachment was rejected by the mail daemon. :-(

[...] The menu.vim file should never change 'encoding'. It should load menus that are appropriate for the current 'encoding' and language.
But gvim doesn't support an encoding named 'gbk'. If the system encoding is 'gbk', the menu and toolbar get malformed. In the past two years (or more), all gvim users in mainland China should add the following two lines in their .vimrc if they are using Linux with GBK encoding: set enc=cp936 so $VIMRUNTIME/delmenu.vim so $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim That's why I had wanted to change the encoding value in menu.vim. :-)
If the intention is to have the default for 'encoding' use something specific in $LANG then this must be done in enc_locale() in src/mbyte.c
I modified mbyte.c, added "gbk" as an alias of "cp936", then the menubar was displayed properly with the unmodified menu.vim. But there is still some problem with the toolbar - every last character of the tooltip becomes two question marks. I'm trying to debug the code and will send you another patch as soon as I solve the problem. Hope you can offer me some hints, too. :-)
