I believe Ubuntu 16.04 msgfmt is seriously brocken and we had to work around it in the build script.

I didn't know about hese .desktop files but looking for them finds them not only at the same place in the directory tree, but with the same date as my home-compiled /usr/local/bin/vim binary (to which /usr/local/bin/gvim is a soft link). Comparing them with vimdiff shows that they are extremely similar, though not identical, to each other. Most of the differences are what one would expect from .desktop files meant, the one for gvim and the other for vim. Normally I start Vim either as "gvim -S" with a handwritten session file from a handwritten desktop icon, or by typing the executable name (vim, view, vimdiff, etc.) with apropriate arguments at a bash shell prompt, thus entirely bypassing those .desktop shortcuts (which are not installed on my KDE desktop anyway). This never gives me problems. I am on openSUSE 15.1 where I compile and install the latest Vim (currently 8.1.1933) every time I see a new version on Christian's Mercurial mirror (presently the 256bit.org one, in prevision of Bitbucket's demise as a Mercurial hosting facility in a little less than a year) of Bram's master repository on github; my other software packages come from the openSUSE 15.1 distro's various software repositories, including the "Update-Test" repository; for instance the Linux kernel there is at version 4.12.14-lp151.28.3 where the part after the dash is a kind of "SUSE build number".

I do not get this warning with gvim even though there is a very similar gvim.desktop file in the same dir.
