Bug Description
After the upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04, gvim usually no longer gets the right height when starting up.
In .gvimrc, I have
set lines=50 columns=102
The expected behaviour is that gvim starts up with 50 lines and 102 columns.
The column part seems to work fine, but the height is usually a little too small. "echo &lines" then says 48. The window sometimes gets the right size though (echo &lines == 50), and sometimes a little too large (echo &lines == 52). In the latter case, the window reaches under the bottom-panel in XFCE.
I have emptied .vimrc, and I have emptied .gvimrc for everything except "set lines=50", but it did not make any difference. So the interaction between options should not be the problem.

It seems it has to do with the AppMenu (http://
When I start gvim, I get the message
"** (gvim:30703): WARNING **: Unable to create Ubuntu Menu Proxy: Timeout was reached
Running "UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= gvim" removes that message, and makes gvim start with the right size.
Since I'm in XFCE, the AppMenu doesn't exist anyway as I understand it.
