It seems that you're right. In my vimrc file I got the statement

set columns=82 lines=45

while the terminal has dimension = 80x24.

So I tried to change the command for the nemo action in this way:

gnome-terminal --geometry=80x45 --working-directory=%P -e "vim %F"

and it seems to work properly.
