I had once such a problem when I managed to get my 200 Gbyte harddisk to
fill up. :-)

hmm? You don't need access to X11 to paste between various windows.
What you really need is
set pastetoggle=<F11>
which enables ':set paste' - paste your stuff and press F11 again.

I have no idea. But restart X and restart your computer and retry.

I think that a console vim should try to access X11 at all. It annoyed
me so much that I added the line years ago to my .vimrc .
If I want a X11 vim I use gvim (it's faster on vertical split than the
one on console)
