PARTIAL SOLUTION.

To use gvim(1), specify ‘--nofork’:

        gvim --nofork %f

 but please see the POSSIBLE CAVEAT below.

In theory, the same will work for vim(1) when run by Konsole:

        konsole --nofork -e vim %f

However, this results in the opaque complaint:

        <unknown program name>(4763)/: KUniqueApplication: Can't setup D-Bus
service. Probably already running.

where the ‘4763’ is clearly the PID of some process (presumably
Konsole).  To work-around this unclear problem, use xterm(1) or,
I presume, another non-KDE terminak.

The CAVEAT:  I don't if the ‘gvim’ work-around works if there is
an already-running ‘gvim’ (I don't normally use ‘gvim’ myself);
and for that matter, I don't know if the Konsole should-work
actually does work if there is_not_ an already-running Konsole.
