Hello all, I've started using `screen` more or less religiously for a number of reasons. One of these is the relative instability of X: I don't want my vim instances to come down with the terminals that come down with X.
I recently had my X session crash. Although `vim` instances which were running within `screen` survived the crash, there are numerous problems with them. In general I'm finding it necessary to save a session via `:mksession` and then restart `vim`. This is sort of a hassle, if only because I tend to have information in VimL variables and in unnamed buffers. It's probably relevant that I'm running the `vim-gnome` version of vim (from ubuntu 10.04). This version is somehow integrated with X even when running under a terminal: for example, it can access the clipboard via `...@+` and `...@*`. I would expect problems with the clipboard in this situation, but the issues seem more widespread. I'm keeping an [updated list][1] of "symptoms" on superuser.com; please check there if you're interested in the details of what doesn't work. Have other people encountered this problem? Is there a known solution or workaround? Is this an inevitable potential consequence of using the `vim-gnome` build?
