Re: "What is the difference between NetBSD and other BSD flavors?"
Is there a simple way to default all text to vim?
This is turning into a nightmare. Setting text/plain to vim.desktop invokes a weirdly different Vim, one that assumes 24x80 display and pollutes the screen. Maybe DWM has something to do with this.
looking for vim.desktop reveals 6 different files. The most likely, in use/share/applications, is a very long file (5K) with all kinds of crap, but seems to list vim as executable. But when it runs, it looks different, fonts, weird sizing issues. I don't have gvim installed...
Please tell me BSD does not use this idiocy and I will switch today.
Although it may have something to do with how pcmanfm sets up the environment prior to invoking vim... I should install mc instead, since I like dual fms

Thank you for your input. I switched to FreeBSD and am pretty happy.
