You seem to use 'shell' and 'terminal' interchangeably. They

It doesn't matter *how* you start gvim. You will always get a
limited functionality terminal from it.
You can hack around it by spawning a real(ish)
(pseudo)terminal(emulator). Just in case you didn't have enough
parens in that sentence, you can do something like one of the
following:
:!rxvt &
:!rxvt -e /bin/bash &
or if you want to be more flexible you can do something like
:let g:term_emulator_cmd='rxvt -e'
" :let g:term_emulator_cmd='xterm -e'
:exec '!'.(g:term_emulator).' '.&shell.'&'
The terminal "&" is optional depending on whether you want to
spawn the term in the background or if you want to wait until the
term-emulator exits before returning to vim.
Any/all of those can be readily mapped or have a :command made of
them to make them less verbose when calling them.
