KDE overrides gvim color scheme
hi 
i've correctly configured gvim to use a color scheme (created .vimrc and .vim directory and simlinkeg .gvimrc to .vimrc, a link named .gvim to .vim directory was auto-created).
When launching gvim from the console all's fine, but when launching it from kde menu or opening a file from dolphin, all the settings are applied except for the color scheme.
I hope someone can help me

Re: KDE overrides gvim color scheme
Do you have "apply KDE colors to non-KDE applications" checked?
For every problem, there is a solution that is:
Clean
Simple and most of all...wrong!

i believe that's checked by default.

Re: KDE overrides gvim color scheme
Look into /etc/gvimrc. There are some stupid defaults set.

There isn't a .gvimrc in /etc.
I also tried creating it (and .vimrc) and linking them to the one in my home, but it didn't work.

The config files are not hidden in /etc. Thus it is not /etc/.gvimrc but /etc/gvimrc.
This file should be there, it was installed by the gvim package.
By the way, from where do you load your color scheme, global (/usr/share/vim/colors) or local (./vim/colors)? It appears that KDE messes up the environment when starting an application from the menu.
(I can't check this now as I'm using IceWM currently.)
To know or not to know ...
... the questions remain forever.
