I guess that's another thing to add to my list of "reasons Ubuntu is terrible" it's a minor complaint, but good to know.

[edit]

FWIW, "gvim -v" will probably give you clipboard support in a terminal on ubuntu, and ubuntu might have an "alternatives" tool to make the "vim" in your path have X support. "The Ubuntu packager compiled vim with the feature I want disabled" is a poor argument against vim; it would be like someone saying "I switched away from vim because I wanted to write plugins in Python" just because the packaged version of vim they use has python integration disabled.
