Sounds to me XPM problem?  Do you have xpm libraries installed?
In my X11R6.4 archive xpm was from January 99, now I
have a newer xpm libraries for X11.  I will be uploading them
latter tonite to my web site for download.

No clues!  I do not know why.  I never tried or compiled 
vim for X windows. I vim OLE version.
