I removed gvim info from the ~/.fluxbox/apps, but the strange behavior
keeps same.

I removed everything from my .(g)vimrc and .vim directory, then I found
the behavior is caused by a single line:
set guifont=Bitstream\ Vera\ Sans\ Mono\ 11
That means, if I changed the font from my rc file, the gvim window will
become very large and I cannot even find its title bar to move it. But
the strange behavior won't happen if I start gvim from kconsole or rxvt.
I think this is a gvim problem, right?

Thanks for this. But when I doing this in my .fluxbox/keys, things
broken. When I pressed the Win key + Left, my window simply disappeared
and I cannot find out where it is. What I can do then, is to kill it
from command line.

I can't go back to yesterday - because I was a different person then.
