  P.S. - to be more specific - ver 7.1.56, and if I run
  with noplugin switch, same problem.

1. Does

        :view $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim

display a Vim script? If it doesn't, you have a problem.

2. You are running gvim aren't you? The following will give you menus
even in Console Vim ("normal" or bigger version) when you hit Ctrl-Z:

if has('wildmenu')
        set wildmenu
        if has('menu')
                if !has('gui_running')
                        runtime! menu.vim
                endif
                " override Ctrl-Z (minimize) by a text-mode menu
                " we can still use :suspend for the original meaning
                " of the key
                set wildcharm=<C-T>
                map <C-Z> :emenu <C-T>
                imap <C-Z> <C-O>:emenu <C-T>
        endif
endif

$VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim is of course still required.


Best regards,
Tony.

Yes.

Interestingly, if I run gvim as root : => sudo gvim
I get the menubar.

  Installed the above. Just getting the hang of it.
  Back to the original problem:
     FYI: On ubuntu, vim.full which is the origin of
       the vim/gvim symlink has got everything but the kitchen sink compiled
       in - including the ruby, perl, tcl, and python interpreters.

     I had just updated perl as per Adept Notifier. Well, just on a hunch, I
     installed "vim with python support" (vim.python) which has only the  
     python interpeter compiled in, which is all I need actually, and
     adjusted  symlinks so that `vim' or `gvim' loads vim.python and
     I have my menubar back. And vim loads faster.

    Go figure!
    Thanks again Tony

I had the same problem on kubuntu 8.10, gvim 7.1.

The menu reappeared after I deleted ~/.gnome2/Vim.
The file is recreated when gvim is run again, but the
menu is still visible.

The menu disappeared after a regular software update
when a newer version of vim was installed.

To fix it, I deleted ~/.gnome2/Vim.

 To recap my problem ( I believe that I originated this thread),
 the menubar disappeared after perl was updated - I was using
 vim.full, which is vim with all features (including the perl interpreter)
 compiled in.

 I switched to vim.python - which has only python interpreter compiled
 in. I.E. -perl, -ruby, etc.

 and the menubar displayed. Based on mmarko's experience, I deleted
 the Vim file the the ~/.gnome2 folder, with no change to vim.full.
