RE: Cygwin defaced Vim. Help.
If you install gVim separately, after you've installed it, make sure you're getting the right one from Cygwin by typing which gvim at a Cygwin prompt. If you get the one inside cygwin, you'll need to adjust your Windows path so the correct gVim is found. I only have vim (not gVim) in my Cygwin bin folder, so I avoid the problem entirely.

How did you get your gVim? in Windows there can be several versions: 1. Compiled in Cygwin by make -f Makefile, this could run in cygwin/X 2.

Compiled with VC by nmake -f Make_mvc.mak, this is Windows native version compiled by vc If you want gVim, I recommend a Windows native version in Windows, not the cygwin/X version. -- Sincerely, Pan, Shi Zhu. ext: 2606

Maybe you are now running the Cygwin unix-like version of Vim instead of your (possibly more up-to-date) native-Windows version? Try :version :echo $VIM :echo $VIMRUNTIME :echo $HOME in gvim started from cygwin bash on the one-hand, and directly from the Windows Dos Box (CMD.EXE) on the other hand, and compare the results.
