Hello Everyone,
Gvim is my favorite editor, and up until yesterday it was working perfectly. I think, however, that I may have mangled one of its settings while trying to make KDE look fancy.
In addition to modifying some system settings, such as desktop theme and font size, I downloaded LXDE and Unity2D desktop environments, as well as something called "Compiz Fusion." I realize now that I may have not downloaded the pre-requisite "Compiz." In any case, I uninstalled each of these last three items and even deleted my .kde folder in effort to make GVim work again.
Still, here is the error that I am getting:
The program 'gvim' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 312 error_code 8 request_code 139 minor_code 1)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
I thought perhaps I would have to change a line of the .gvimrc or some other file; I had an issue with Gvim once before when I installed GNOME. Then the fix was to edit a file in .gnome2 since since the file was issuing an impossible location for the menu bar. Maybe I have somehow enabled two conflicting window managers? I am not sure, but any advice would be appreciated.
P.S. Vim works fine from the terminal.
