This problem cannot be easily fixed in vim, it uses GTK in a "slightly
unusual" way and relied on the documented behavior of gtk_main_quit()
which the GTK devs silently changed in 2.10.0 (by making RecentManager
save the recently used files list). A real fix depends on the GTK devs
reverting this undocumented behavior for which I have filed a RFE at
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=546691 . So if you care about
this feel free to bug the GTK folks about it, complaining here will gain
you nothing.
