I believe this was meant for the vim mailing list...

Thanks all for the replies. I have a relatively fresh install of
Debian Testing. I don't believe I have manually modified any
system-level configuration files. All my settings are in ~/.gvimrc
and ~/.vimrc
Actually this is happening on two systems. My debian testing system
at home and my work machine which is running RHEL 4. I believe I
compiled vim/gvim from source at work, although here at home I'm using
the debian packaged one.

I suspect that you may be having problems because you made changes to
files in
files in your former $VIMRUNTIME (use :echo $VIMRUNTIME when running vim to
see where that is). Those files should not be changed, added to, etc,
unless
you don't mind having to re-do all such changes when next you upgrade vim.
Instead:
* put settings, most customizations, etc in
$HOME/.vimrc (linux)
$HOME\_vimrc (windows)
You can find out where your $HOME is by typing
:echo $HOME
when you're running vim.
* Put plugins into
$HOME/.vim/plugin/ (linux)
$HOME\vimfiles\plugin\ (windows)
* Put autoload plugins into
$HOME/.vim/autoload/ (linux)
$HOME\vimfiles\autoload\ (windows)
* Put colorschemes into
$HOME/.vim/colors/ (linux)
$HOME\vimfiles\colors\ (windows)
The setting in question here is: hls
You'll probably should include the following in your .vimrc (_vimrc), too:
set nocp
if version >= 600
filetype plugin indent on
endif
