I had the same issue in Karmic with Vim 7.2.245, and the suggested fix ,namely:

rm ~/.gnome/Vim
rerun vim

worked for me. Thanks.

The comment above will work if your menu is turned of within Vim.
The real issue for this post is due to a problem with Gnome trying to dock the menu somewhere you cannot see it.

Try turning the menu on in Vim. If that doesn’t work and you are using Gnome/Metacity, follow the directions in the post. They are correct.
