Here is how to have your cake and eat it too: trash /Library/InputManagers?/LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader

This will keep Logitech Control Center installed, if you actually like its advanced configuration, additional buttons, etc. and will clear all sorts of problems with MacVim?, Growl, and other apps.

I couldn't find any downside to it, so I guess that Input Manager does something I don't need. YMMV

a) Is this related to Macvim.org? b) the icon in the screenshot looks more polished than the icon in the app.

Please do not ask questions on the wiki. Post your questions to the vim_mac mailing list instead. Thanks.
