Sylpheed waits until the command returns (by quitting the application).
Running gvim without the -f option will make gvim run detached and Sylpheed will
think that the editor exited (the window is not greyed when running without -f).

There is no other way for sylpheed to know that the file was saved. So you
must use -f with gvim.

Best regards
