The problem is when the maintainer, I, is not sure what is its correct behavior, because it was added long time ago and I never used it before :( . Previous maintainer is often busy to respond and vimx comes even from times before him (before 2000...). And when I saw different explanation on the internet, I rather asked here, if there is someone who actually knows what vimx really should be. If it is really as manpage says - Vi with X GUI (which is Vim project built with minimal features in RHEL/Fedora) - I would rather stop shipping it, because to make it work would need to compile Vim again especially for vimx and it does bring much value these days.
