I went away and played with my problem, and actually found the solution. It is really quite trivial, but I thought the decent thing to do would be just to stick a note on the thread, in the unlikely event that someone else stumbles into the same issue as I did.
When running 19.04, I used gVim as my editor and I found the toolbar of icons to be an annoyance and saw in the settings that I could tern them off with;
With that added to my vimrc file gVim opened immediately with no annoying icons.
I did a clean install of 19.10, I copied my .vim folder over and that was when gVim took 18 seconds to boot.
When I deleted the 'set guioptions' line, gVim went back to loading instantly. I dont know if all the settings options would cause a similar problem, but this one caused mine.
For what its worth I now apply the 'set guioptions' after the program is running with;
Code:
"imap <leader>z <esc>:set guioptions-=T<cr>
"nmap <leader>z :set guioptions-=T<cr>
It is not quite as convenient, but I am not sufficiency skilled to do any better.
Keith.
