The binary where I tested it was built with -terminal. There (with !
in 'guioptions'), the output of external commands appears in the
command-line area, pushing all windows upwards. It may be different in
a gvim with +terminal — I have one but I only rarely use it. Sorry for
jumping to conclusions.

Here are the configuration parameters for my "usual" Vim:

export CONF_OPT_GUI='--enable-gui=gtk2'
export CONF_OPT_MULTIBYTE='--enable-multibyte'
export CONF_OPT_AUTOSERVE='--enable-autoservername'
export CONF_OPT_FEAT='--with-features=big'
export CONF_OPT_COMPBY='"--with-compiledby=antoine.mechelynck@gmail.com"'

Multibyte and GTK2 but no interpreted language interfaces, no
terminal, and none of the few features normally present in Huge but
not in Big. In addition to this, I set +xterm_save and -tag_old_static
by patching feature.h because AFAIK there are no configure arguments
for them.

Best regards,
Tony.
