strange behavior of vim syntax highlighting

[Uwe Kiewel <ml kiewel-online de>]

Hi world,

I've got a problem using vim's syntax highlighting feature.

System: Runlevel 5, KDE, Fedora 8

- in a text console (STRG-ALT-F1)-> it works
- ssh to localhost or ssh from a remote system -> it works
- as user doing su - user -> it works
- opening a xterm in KDE -> it doesn't work


My question: What is the difference between the first 3 ways and the
last one in allocating the vim environment?

Thanks,
	Uwe
