Thanks Wichert!

I tried to install your version on a slink system (with slink GNOME stuff
installed) and it seg faulted. I'm compiling the packages from your source
tree now to see if that will work. (Note that vim-rt refused to install
due to incompatible dependencies on my slink/GNOME.slink system.)

I'm guessing it will work with the recompile--I've been waiting for the
gtk interface for vim for a while now. Thanks again for providing a
debianized version.

Syrus.
