I use gvim from xfce4 and sometimes get into a strange
situation when pressing : while being in a normal mode
leads not to the command line mode but instead highlights
the icon "Copy to clipboad".

Just now I have noted that in this situation I also cannot
see the version of my gvim via the Help menu (but saving via
the the "Save current file" icon usually works). 

The output from the :version command (executed from a newly
started gvim) is as follows:

Any ideas how to fix it?

And whom to blame? (Except for myself, of course. :) 
My first guess that something is wrong with xfce4 here.
