Hello there,
I'm on a brand new arch installation on my laptop and can't seem to start gvim.
Issuing `vim` works just fine, but gvim sits there, doing nothing for a long time, 'till I decide to ^C it, which gives:
ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = <PID-OF-GVIM>, errno = 4Any tips on solving this?
A couple of notes:
* The same package version works just fine
* Calling 'gvim' with '--noplugin' doesn't help either
packages:
gvim 7.2.266-2
vim 7.2.266-1

Okay, a quick feedback about what's going on:
The culprit is actually WICD (yeah, WTF!). I've been talking to a friend and he's told me he had the same issue, but with EMACS instead of VIM.
I've re-re-instaled Arch on my notebook and gvim was working alright until I installed WICD.
The problem:
* Uninstalling wicd and everything that got pulled in together does NOT solve it
Some workarounds:
* Starting GVIM with '-X' works
* For emacs, adding 'YOUR-GIVEN-IP HOSTNAME.LOCALHOST HOSTNAME' to /etc/hosts makes it work again, according to my friend. This didn't help me with vi. (EDIT: Reference: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216311#c6 )
I'm trying to find a fix for it right now.
Any clues?
EDIT: Problem solved!
It was actually a bug with gtk-qt-engine and kde4. I was led to believe it was WICD due to my friends prior issues and the fact that gtk-qt-engine was not misbehaving before installing wicd (probably because I hadn't rebooted). Reference: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/270972
