vim-gnome installs both 'vim' and 'gvim' as symlinks to the same
binary.  When a vim binary is invoked as 'vim' it launches terminal
vim, and when it's invoked as 'gvim' it launches gui vim (as long as
gui support was compiled in).  Either way, the same features were
compiled into the binary, so ruby support is there whether you launch
that vim binary as 'vim' or as 'gvim'.
