Doesn't work in either case here. But running processes in the background using & requires shell process control, which is probably not available in gvim when not run from the shell. You could modify the gvim.desktop file to run vim in a shell when spawned from a file manager or the menu. > Regards, > Bernhard Benedikt _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list [email protected] http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
