A very strange problem about gVim (maybe FreeBSD related)

Hi all,

I run FreeBSD 8.2 and vim 7.3.121 that is compiled from the ports tree.
The problem is I found a very strange gVim window title (for the dimension limitation of the attachment I can't upload the screen-shot).

  1. Problem description:
    If I open a file (say /etc/make.con) with vim in gnome-terminal, the window title is: make.conf = (/etc) -VIM.
    However, if I open this file with gVim, the window title is: make.conf = (/etc) - GVIM (as superuser)

    The Vim window title is OK, whereas the gVim window title is strange.
    I mean (as superuser) is strange.
  2. What I have done:

    I sent this problem to "bugs@vim.org" and I got a reply from Bram Moolenaar. The reply is as follows:
    No idea where that comes from. Defenitely not from Vim itself.
    Check who compiled and installed Vim.

  3. My opinion:

    I doubt whether it is a bug from the ports tree?

    In /etc/make.conf:
    Code: 
    # for vim
.if ${.CURDIR}=="/usr/ports/editors/vim"
WITH_OPTIONS="yes"
.endif

    In /var/db/ports/vim/options:
    Code: 
    # This file is auto-generated by 'make config'.
# No user-servicable parts inside!
# Options for vim-7.3.121
_OPTIONS_READ=vim-7.3.121
WITHOUT_PERL=true
WITHOUT_PYTHON=true
WITHOUT_RUBY=true
WITHOUT_TCL=true
WITHOUT_LUA=true
WITHOUT_LANG=true
WITHOUT_CSCOPE=true
WITHOUT_EXUBERANT_CTAGS=true
WITH_X11=true
WITHOUT_X11_ONLY=true
WITHOUT_XTERM_SAVE=true
WITHOUT_ATHENA=true
WITHOUT_GTK2=true
WITH_GNOME2=true
WITHOUT_MOTIF=true
 
I have to say sorry, I didn't google this problem before.

I think this problem is not FreeBSD-related, because it was found in other Unix-like system too.
 
Check the settings for gnome-terminal. The additional text in the title is added by it.
