Bug#338027: put gvim.desktop in gtk2 enabled vim packages

Package: vim
Version: 1:6.4-001+2
Followup-For: Bug #338027


The case as it stands is that the `vim' package (not `vim-common')
contains the offending desktop file and gvim binary, whereas one 
would expect to find it in the packages with gtk2 support.
It makes more sense from the user's viewpoint to add the desktop file
to those packages (or even more ugly, vim-gtk-common etc.).
But considering the fact that vim-gtk and others contain only two
files, your argument seems weak. I think a vim-gui-common package
makes perfect sense.

Thank you,
Adonikam
