Gvim does not have a global menu (appmenu / application menu) in 12.04, and when starting gvim from a terminal, the following warning appears in the terminal after 25 seconds:
** (gvim:20320): WARNING **: Unable to create Ubuntu Menu Proxy: Timeout was reached
How to fix this?
I installed ubuntu 12.04 lts yesterday, and didn't change any system setting, but gvim can't get correct font display, there's too much space between character.
Screeshot :
The .gvimrc file:
I have done the following:
sudo apt-get install vim-gnome
But I get the following:
vim-gnome : Depends: libruby1.8 (>= 1.8.7.352) but 1.8.6.111-2ubuntu1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I've done:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Contents of my /etc/apt/sources.list file:

But all to no avail. I always get the same error above.
What can I do to resolve?
Sometimes I want the last line of a text file to be a simple string of text with no newline character appended: ...eg. to concatenate another file to it.
Several editors automatically modify my text by adding a newline character, even though I have not pressed Enter.
Remains unmodified: Emacs, SciTE, Kate, Bluefish, Notepad(wine)
Newline is added: Gedit, Gvim, Vim, Nano
I would like to know if there is some way to tweak Gedit, Gvim, and Vim to only save what I have typed.... and even Nano might come in handy
I currently use Gedit, and I'm dabbling in Gvim/Vim.. so it would be useful to know how to "toggle" these on/off...
PS. Upon re-opening the same file in Gedit, Gvim, and Vim, the cursor's end-of-file placement is at the end of the text, whereas it should really show up on the next (empty) line. This is misleading (but that's because of what I'm used to).
I used a hexeditor to check the above observatons.
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10. Whenever I open the gvim application, I have to select a custom font (Edit→Select font). I would like gvim to remember my choice. Perhaps I need to edit the ~/.vimrc file, I am not sure.
How can I make gvim remember my preference?
