1. remove 'gvim -v' entry in CustomApplications.generic(),
2. add this code to the class:

    def app_vim(self, c):
        return tup("gvim", "-v", *c.files)

And make sure the indentation is correct, i.e. if the file uses tabs,
you should also use tabs.  If the file has 2 spaces per indentation,
also use 2 spaces, etc.
