Comment 15 for bug 733265

The question is, WHY is this happening? Why does launching gvim and having it detach from the terminal cause a gtk menu not to work? this seems like a strange quirk of DBUS. Can one of the dbus/dbusmenu devs explain, or point to some developer docs that explain?

I could tackle fixing this since I've got some time and it -really- annoys me, but I don't understand the problem.
