Appears that the .desktop file for gvim doesn't get moved into place. Copy /usr/share/app-install/desktop/vim-gui-common:gvim.desktop to /usr/share/applications, and Vim will show up on the lens as gvim.

I can confirm that Tom's fix also worked on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS

sudo cp /usr/share/app-install/desktop/vim-gui-common:gvim.desktop /usr/share/applications
