If you were willing to do more tests, it might be interesting to see
if this is a "vim" problem or a "xfce starting non gui app" issue.

Does it happen:
- With /usr/bin/vi on NetBSD (and matching "nvi" on Linux)?
- If you run vim from the xfce run dialog?
- If you run vim from a different file manager such as pcmanfm-qt?
