If you mean when you open the file in the windows gVim it destroys the permissions, that is expected. Windows doesn't know about or understand the "Unix" permissions cygwin uses.
actually I thought about that.
Just as in unix/cygwin we place a
in the .profile/.bash_profile to overwrite the file creation mask, is there also a similar config file on windows that we can modify the file creation mask? I realized Windows (gVim) always sets the file permissions to a specific value, which means it has a default..
I have a linux Enterprise Server Version 3 (ES) . It does not have Gvim on it. Can someone tell me how I can get Gvim on it please. I have spent a fair bit of time researching this and have not figured it out. I am probably missing something simple.

Hey folks,
I have used gVim in Windows for many years but I have never found an answer to a very simple question I am going to ask you guys...
My question is if there is a way to eliminate the creation of those ~ files that gVim creates in Windows. If you have ever used gVim in Windows you... (2 Replies)
I need to be very careful to keep ^M characters out of files.
In gVim, I can change the file format to Unix easily enough, but is there any way to make Unix the default format?
I can see "startup options" in the menu, but this takes me to some meaningless config file. I believe my config value... (1 Reply)

Hi People,
Does gvim latest versions support tabs. I would like to open different files in tabs rather than new windows or split windows. I would like to whether the current version supports it, if it doesn't then how to add such feature.
Thanks,

gnome-desktop-item-edit - GNOME Desktop file editor
SYNOPSIS
gnome-desktop-item-edit [--create-new] filename
DESCRIPTION
gnome-desktop-item-edit is the GNOME Desktop file editor, which you can use to create or edit the .desktop (known as desktop) file. GNOME
uses a standard desktop file specification as proposed by freedesktop.org. A desktop file consists of a number of name-value pairs that
define how a desktop should organize a particular application. As this is defined as an open standard, integration of applications into
GNOME Desktop is relatively straightforward.
A basic entry in the desktop file must start with a tag called [Desktop Entry]. It can then have a number of name-value pairs as defined by
the standard. The minimum entries are as follows:
Name the name of the application
Comment a textual description of the application which is displayed as a tooltip message by gnome-panel. When set appropri-
ately, the comment can be localized within the same file.
Exec the name of the actual executable
Icon the file name of the icon image
Type the desktop file type
Categories a multi-string field which is used by gnome-panel to group applications into the appropriate categories.
These desktop files provide the information to gnome-panel, which places the application in the appropriate locations on the panel. In
a similar manner, the GNOME file manager (Nautilus) uses information from the desktop files to display the 'applications:///' view.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
--create-new Creates a new .desktop file.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
filename The name of the desktop file to be edited or viewed.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Editing an existing .desktop file
example% gnome-desktop-item-edit fullpath/filename
This command invokes the launcher dialog and loads the contents of the specified desktop file into the relevant fields.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Application exited successfully
>0 Application exited with failure
FILES
The following files are used by this application:
/usr/bin/gnome-desktop-iExecutable for GNOME Desktop file editor
/usr/share/applications/Desktopofile
