In all that you didn't do
sudo apt-get build-dep vim-gnome
I booted into a xenial iso just now. This gives a vanilla, out-of-the-box xenial experience (almost), if a little slow. My old, trusty, "apt-get build-dep vim-gtk" gave errors. I used the settings app to enable all the boxes, let it update, followed Dominique's instructions and built vim with gtk2.
If the build-dep vim-gnome doesn't do the trick, maybe your sources.list has problems. The vanilla xenial's sources.list was, with comments stripped:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates main restricted universe multiverse
HTH, and regards, John Little
