Minor issue, but nice to have smooth start for newcomers :-)

Vim in Fedora's package repositories is not compiled with support for X11. This however does not apply to other major linux distributions like Ubuntu(There is no vimx package in Debian).

For helping newcomers, we can add a page to the wiki with the required instructions to alias vimx to vim.

I see, how about gvim -v instead?

I am fine with editing README only.

We would like to retain the command vim as a default for any platform. The user can use the VMAIL_VIM environment variable to set any other value.

Sounds fair to me.
