I think there's a much greater likelihood that vim is removing the
xattrs, not Beagle.

Shut down Beagle first, then create a file, set an xattr on it, edit
the file in vim, and then run getfattr again.  If the attributes
aren't there, it's a vim bug.

(I say this because the way vim works, IIRC, is that the contents are
saved to a temporary file and moved on top of the old one.  If this is
the case, it needs to copy the xattrs from the temp file to the new
file and it probably isn't.)
