Hey, wait! Even gvim for Windows has tearoff menus, which is a great feature, available in no other Windows programs AFAIK. Why disable it in Gnome versions on the pretext that other Gnome programs don't have it? If you don't like the availability of tearoff menus, include ":set guioptions-=t" in your vimrc, but don't deprive me of this feature. And don't tell me that I can just compile "with GTK but without Gnome": I want a Gnome gvim for other reasons, such as the ability to save its session when the KDE window manager closes.
Eh, you who want tearoff menus (perhaps the most stupid GUI design choice ever) can include ":set guioptions+=t" in your vimrc. Not that I'd include 'm' in my guioptions either. Not that I'd run the gui for that matter.
This sounds to me like "I don't want it, therefore you cannot have it", a form of totalitarianism completely out of place in Vim.
