I know (I must be more verbose on my e-mail and/or improve my 
communication skills).

I was only saying that:

	1) in the past, two different packages (vim e gvim) have been 
introduced, respectively for the textual and the graphical versions on vim;

	2) because of 1) "vim -g" gives an error (for which nobody complains, 
since if one wants the X version, he simply installs and run gvim (and 
this is absolutely right));

	3) I imagine that error given by "vim -g" is similar to the error, a 
gdb non depending from X would give in invoked with the "-w" option 
("gdb -w");

	4) this similarity makes me think that having two different packages 
one for the textual gdb (obviously non depending from X) and one for the 
graphical insight (depending from a Tcl/Tk that in turns depend from X) 
would be a good idea: it worked in the past for the users of Cygwin.
