debian-user: strange problem with VIM and cursor keys.

[Brendan J Simon <brendan.simon@bigpond.com>]

When I use VIM in an X terminal (eg. gnometerm), I can't use the cursor 
keys to navigate whilst in insert mode.
*However*, if I have a ~/.vimrc file with nothing in it, I *can* 
navigate with the cursor keys in insert mode.
Very strange.  Is this a bug or have I got something wrong with my setup.

Thanks,
Brendan Simon.
