In fact, the vim split is much more nonsense imo. I didn't find any option to
run gvim in text mode so I just ended up replacing vim-minimal and
vim-enhanced packages by my own that provide just a bunch of symlinks to
gvim. Honestly, the alternatives approach in debian is one thousand times
better.

If anyone wonders why did I do that -- the -ehnanced version does not support
xterm mouse and X clipboard. Sucks, doesn't it?
