Bug Description
Description of the problem:
After installing vim-gnome there was no sign of a Gvim menu entry despite gnome-app-install saying it could be found in Applications -> Accessories. It was also not present in the right mouse button menu of text files.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to Applications -> Add/Remove...
2. Ensure that Show is on "All available applications" then type vim into the Search field.
3. Tick "Gvim Text Editor" then click apply.
4. Click Apply in the unnamed window that follows.
5. A dialog titled should appear indicating where Gvim is within the menu structure.
Expected result:
"Gvim Text Editor" menu entry to be present in Applications -> Accessories. "Open with Gvim Text Editor" to become be present in the right mouse button menu of text files.
Actual results:
Applications -> Accessories lacks a Gvim option. Right mouse button menu of text files does not have an "Open with Gvim Text Editor" option.
How reproducible is the problem?
It is reproducible every time.

I remember it used to be in Accessories, but the .desktop transition changed the deal.
