Package: vim
Version: 1:6.3-086+1
Severity: normal


Subject: gvim.desktop should be in vim-gtk and/or vim-gnome instead
Package: vim
Version: 1:6.4-001+2
Severity: normal

Starting from 6.4 the binary package vim ships
/usr/share/applications/gvim.desktop.  This makes a menu item "GVim Text
Editor" appearing in my GNOME desktop.  But since I have vim, not
vim-gtk/vim-gnome installed, this menu item doesn't work at all (as it
calls gvim).  There are also other things introduced by this
gvim.desktop file, like right-click menu item.

So it seems vim shouldn't ship gvim.desktop.  It should be shipped in
vim-gtk and/or vim-gnome instead.
