Ok. Tested. Vim-7.1.229 still hangs on Scientific Linux 5:
/tmp/vimrc has:
set nocp
set mouse=a
Then "vim -u /tmp/vimrc -X" hangs when run under screen. It does not
display anything, or respond to terminal input (including Ctrl-C). When
killed (SIGTERM), it draws the intro screen and prints a message saying
"Received TERM signal, exiting."
The same happens with -X / without -X, independent of the DISPLAY
variable. But "env TERM=rxvt vim" runs fine.
