Vim erroneously seeking Nvim sources
So for years I was happily using my Vim/gVim configuration, and this year I updated to Nvim. Well worth it - vimfiles. I'm less frequently using Vim/gVim, but I keep the configurations functioning. Today I discovered that if I launch Vim/gVim from PCManFM, the Vim installation seeks files from the Nvim source! I can partially fix this by presetting $VIM and $VIMRUNTIME early on in my Vim/gVim configuration (Code), but I shouldn't need to do that, and I still get "Error detected while processing /usr/share/nvim/runtime/plugin/rplugin.vim" at which I gave up. gVim gets launched correctly on a file from nnn.
Any ideas why the Vim source code should now be seeking things from my Nvim installation?

Vim is behaving correctly on my MSWinPro10 laptop.

Re: Vim erroneously seeking Nvim sources

Presetting to what?
Vim installation seeks files from the Nvim source!
What sources specifically? Also plugins?

You seem to have a bunch of conditions in your vimrc, but maybe it's the global environment.
What happens if you run pcmanfm fron am interactive shell and gvim from that instance?
Have you compared the pcmanfm environment w/ the nnn one?
