One of my systems runs Ubuntu 10.04 and the vim I built works fine
with X11 and the clipboard. Here is all I think I did besides
obtaining the vim source.
sudo apt-get build-dep vim
./configure
make
sudo make install
If you have already compiled vim, then you might have to execute
make distclean
before
./configure
to make sure that the configure script picks up the new build-dep
files.
Here is the output of "vim --version".

I have never built a version with X11 and clipboard support but no
other GUI features, so I'd be guessing about the ./configure options
for that. Tony has more experience there. You might take a look at
the output of
./configure --help
to see the possible configure options.
HTH,
Gary
