I've had problems with this under Solaris and Linux. As long as
vim or gvim are launched from the command line of an active
shell (e.g. from an xterm), no problem, but when you start
configuring menu entries and click-on icons, it's not always
clear what the environment is when starting the program. What I
often end up doing is writing a small shell script to start the
program, after having set whatever needs to be set (generally by
sourcing .bashrc---this isn't an interactive shell), and
configuring the menu entry or button to invoke this script.
