Hmmm, I'm forwarding this to bug-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu.  Though
the vip mode documentation says that C-x i and C-x C-i are now
insert-file, one would think that once one switched back to emacs
mode, C-x C-i would hopefully be still indent-rigidly.

Infact, in the vip manual it says:


!Emacs Mode
!----------
!
!You will be in this mode just after you loaded VIP.  You can do all
!normal Emacs editing in this mode.  Note that the key `C-z' is
!globally bound to `vip-change-mode-to-vi'.  So, if you type `C-z' in
!this mode then you will be in vi mode.

and C-x C-i was a normal command.

Maybe a

(global-set-key "\C-x\C-i" 'indent-rigidly)

in your .emacs file after the vip stuff is loaded will fix this bug.
