Consider that gvim will be just a fallback, as said before. |
| 7 |
And at least visudo will not complaint about missing gvim binary... |
| 8 |
The worst thing that can happen, it will just complaint about missing X |
| 9 |
server on the local side. Though, it's better than complaining about |
| 10 |
missing binary that was not supposed by enduser to be in place at all... |
| 11 |
It's like, "oh, please you install nano, or I refuse to run". |

Obtrusively, no? |
