Do you know how this can be reproduced? I did not find a bug for this in Red 
Hat's Bugzilla and when I use vim via ssh with "-X" and without and with it 
always opens instantly.

Adam, do you know, whether this is still unfixed? Or can you please describe 
how to reproduce this and open a bug report or provide a pointer?
