See my previous email...you're right or wrong, depending on how 
'display' is set :)

The really ugly case occurs when a single very-long-but-wrapped 
line occupies more than the entire screen.  You're then stuck 
using gj/gk to navigate by screen-lines instead of using j/k to 
navigate by file-lines.  I've seen folks remap j/k (or 
<up>/<down>) to gj/gk to make this less noisome.  I map them on 
the fly if I need them.
