make terminal VIM my default text editor Ubuntu 11.04

hi, ive spent the last two working days trying to make terminal VIM my default text editor with no luck.
im using ubuntu 1104 and i dont like GVIM

what ive done so far:
created a vim.desktop file on ~/.local/share/applications with this lines inside

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=VIM
#Exec=/usr/share/vim/vim73/tools/vimm
Exec=gnome-terminal -e "vim \"$1\""

after that, ive edited the mimeapps.list file
and now it looks like this

[Added Associations]
text/csv=openoffice.org-calc.desktop;gedit.desktop;openoffice.org-writer.desktop;
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint=evince.desktop;libreoffice-impress.desktop;
application/illustrator=gimp.desktop;
application/x-shockwave-flash=totem.desktop;vlc.desktop;firefox.desktop;
text/plain=vim.desktop;userapp-vim-0QYSVV.desktop;userapp-vim.gnome-DY1RVV.desktop;

[Default Applications]
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint=libreoffice-impress.desktop
text/plain=vim.desktop

the bold line is the one ive added

so, this changes makes VIM execute when i double click on a plain text file, but it doesnt open the file ive just clicked
it seems to open a new file called $1

this is the closest ive got

any help please?
