I can't replicate such a setup, but see below.

You mean gvim -V, right?

After some googling, I found that gvim relies on the internally compiled
pixmaps by default when it doesn't find others to override them (e.g. if
cream were being used), so these Searching messages are normal.

Trying 'gvim -V' with Cygwin/X11 shows:

Searching for "bitmaps/FindHelp.bmp" in
"/home/Yaakov/.vim,/usr/share/vim/vimfil
es,/usr/share/vim/vim64,/usr/share/vim/vimfiles/after,/home/Yaakov/.vim/after"

C:\cygwin\bin\gvim.exe (5676): *** MapViewOfFileEx (0x19440000), Win32
error 6.  Terminating.
     16 [main] gvim 4696 fork_parent: child 5676 died waiting for dll
loading

But gvim does launch, of course.

So it seems that gvim is sensitive to rebase issues (perhaps because
gvim behaviour is to spawn to background, freeing up the command line
without 'gvim &'); perhaps this happened to you as well, and Xvnc caught
the MapViewOfFileEx error and misinterpreted it?
