Ok, I probably found the culprit. On Fedora Core machine the open with
menu uses net-gvim.desktop file for information (this file resides in
/usr/share/applications). In this file there is a line

Exec=3Dgvim -f %f

That means that the gvim will be started with option -f, which in
manual is described as

-f          Foreground.  For the GUI version, Vim will  not  fork  and
                   detach  from  the  shell it was started in.  On the Amig=

                   should be used when Vim is executed by a program that wi=

                   Amiga the ":sh" and ":!" commands will not work.

As far as I understand, translated to human language, this option
means trouble for vim-latex users.

The solutions for this can be:
1. Change the net-gvim.desktop file, by removing -f option
2. In open with menu choose "open with other" and enter gvim for
command, then use it instead of other vim menu, or make it the
default, so that nautilus always uses correct way of starting vim
3. File the bugs, so the people who shipped this file can fix that.
