It just provides extra information when running gdb.  So, you'd run the
same gdb command you ran for your initial email.

$ LANG=C gdb -q vim.gtk
(gdb) set args -g -u NONE -U NONE
(gdb) run

Hmm, I forgot that gvim forks.  Could you run this instead and attach
the new log?

  strace -o vim.log vim.gtk -g -f -u NONE -U NONE

Thanks for helping to track this down. :)
