"Unable to create Ubuntu Menu Proxy" using GVim in Ubuntu [closed]

I am getting this error in the terminal window when trying

$ gvim
** (gvim:2350): WARNING **: Unable to create Ubuntu Menu Proxy: Timeout was reached

gvim launches but then this error occurs. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The reason you are getting is because Gvim doesn't have an appmenu in Ubuntu by default. You can fix this by adding a global menu for Gvim.

Running the command UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= gvim instead of gvim will help you get rid of that warning. You can also consider aliasing gvim to the above command.

For more information, see How to get global application menu for gvim?
