Bug#793781: vim: 'vim -c :gui' doesn't apply <Shift+Insert> mappings

[Daniel Shahaf]

Package: vim
Version: 2:7.4.488-7
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

When pressing <Shift+Insert> in GVim, the current behaviour in jessie is:

- Pasting from the "* register, if GVim was started by running 'gvim';
- Inserting the literal text "<S-Insert>" (9 characters), if GVim was
  started by using the ":gui" command from console vim.

I expected both cases to behave the same way.

This is due to how runtime/debian.vim installs GUI-specific mappings;
a suggested patch is attached.
