.gvimrc is not present, see:
[yizaq@yizaq-wxp:Mon Aug 30:~:]$ cat $HOME/.gvimrc
cat: /home/yizaq/.gvimrc: No such file or directory
[yizaq@yizaq-wxp:Mon Aug 30:~:]$ cat $VIM/gvimrc
cat: /.gvimrc: No such file or directory

[yizaq@yizaq-lnx:Mon Aug 30:~]$ cat "$VIM/gvimrc"
cat: /gvimrc: No such file or directory
[yizaq@yizaq-lnx:Mon Aug 30:~]$ cat "$HOME/.gvimrc"
cat: /users/yizaq/.gvimrc: No such file or directory

Also gvim GUI is blocked. i.e. I cant get to insert mode nor to : for
setting options. The GUI seems to be completely unresponsive.
Another interesting thing is that both on Cygwin and on Linux the
problem happens when launching gvim from xwin (xterm). When I connect
to Linux via VNC, gvim GUI works ok. Perhaps there's an offensive
xwin/terminal setting causing this mayhem.
