Now I have guioptions=agmrta ! (IOW, a *was* set). 

Related weirdness: If I highlight text in the Linux gvim, I cannot 
middle-button-paste it in the Windows gvim. I can however m-b-paste 
it in the Linux vim. If I now highlight the same text in the Linux 
vim, I can m-b-paste it in the Windows gvim.

Note for VNC list: gvim == vim compiled with GUI.
