[Vimoutliner] Question regarding gvim and colorschemes

[Matthew Weier O'Phinney]

Greetings!

I have been using vimoutliner for several years, since one of Steve's
early versions. I don't use a ton of features, other than code folding,
body text, and checkboxes, but it's an integral part of my work
environment -- I use it for creating code algorithms, keeping project
checklists and outlines, journaling (since I type faster than hand write
these days), and more.

I recently was in a position where I could re-migrate from Windows to
Linux. Unfortunately, when I did so, checkboxes stopped working for me,
and in gvim, I get an odd behaviour that my vimoutliner colorscheme
selection is not honored.

I solved the checkboxes by installing the latest version of vimoutliner
(who knows what version I was on before), but the colorscheme issue
still is not resolved.

Basically, I have the following in my vimoutlinerrc:

    let g:vo_modules_load = "checkbox:hoist"
    setlocal background=dark
    setlocal nowrap
    let g:hoistParanoia=0
    colorscheme vo_dark

In my gvimrc, I have this:

    :colorscheme koehler
    :set guifont=Andale\ Mono\ 13
    :set lines=24
    :set columns=80
    :set go-=T

I tried commenting out the colorscheme setting in the gvimrc, but that
didn't work either; no matter what I do, I end up with the vo_light
colorscheme, and have to manually select vo_dark.

In vim run from a console, it works fine.

Any ideas?
