I don't have any problems seeing a menu (I'm using Fedora Core 5, vim
7.0.1-178).
For build options, I use
./configure --with-features=huge --enable-perlinterp
I commented out my usual guioptions setting (set guioptions=abegmr) and put
your (set guioptions+=m) in instead. So, it appears likely that there's
a permission
error associated with your being able to use gnome, since it works for
you as root.
Hmm, are you sure you're using the same vim as root that you are as a user?
What does
which vim
say as user and as root?
Why do you need the "enable-gnome-check"? In Makefile, there's a note:
GNOME means GTK with Gnome support. If using GTK, then GNOME will
# automatically be used if it is found. If you have GNOME, but do not
want to
# use it (e.g., want a GTK-only version), then use --enable-gui=gtk.
so normally if you use GTK then GNOME will automatically be used, too.
That paragraph is outdated. Gnome is now disabled by default. Use
--enable-gnome-check if you want configure to include it in GTK builds if it
finds it on your system.
Also in the Makefile:
# Uncomment one of these lines if you have that GUI but don't want to
use it.
# The automatic check will use another one that can be found
# Gnome is disabled by default, it may cause trouble.
...
#CONF_OPT_GUI = --enable-gnome-check
which seems to indicate that the --enable-gnome-check is causing GNOME
to be disabled, oddly enough. No Gnome, no menu.

--enable-gnome-check causes Gnome _not_ to be disabled -- provided that you
have Gnome and GTK, or Gnome2 and GTK2, installed. Without
--enable-gnome-check, configure doesn't check for Gnome and doesn't include it
even if you have it installed.
Best regards,
Tony.
