Add the following to .vimrc
"Copy contents of System Clipboard to + buffer when entering vim
autocmd VimEnter * call setreg('+', system('xsel -ob'))
"Copy contents of + buffer to System Clipboard while leaving vim
autocmd VimLeave * call system("xsel -ib", getreg('+'))
This should solve your problem and also the problem of vim "+" buffer contents
not being availble to System Clipboard when vim is exited.
Note: Thanks to @Raimondi at #vim for helping me with the solution.
