Here on Kubuntu 13.10 I did exactly that and got what you want.

Firstly, did you

make reconfig

after installing stuff?

Now, I expect that you're missing some library or header and if you

sudo apt-get build-dep vim-gtk

you'll get what is needed. However, if you don't like all that stuff you could spelunk into src/auto/config.log, or maybe compare your link command to mine:

Linking: gcc -L/usr/local/lib -Wl,--as-needed -o vim -lSM -lICE -lXpm -lXt
-lX11 -lXdmcp -lSM -lICE -lm -ltinfo -lnsl -lselinux -lacl -lattr -lgpm -ldl

I remember installing gpm (for console mouse support), I expect you don't need that; just tried disabling it, and still got +clipboard +xterm_clipboard.
