I got this to work on my system (after installing VIM}
by configuring the double click action for .php file types
as  "vim {F}", just as you note trying above,
...BUT...
I also selected  "run in terminal" (as opposed to "run normal"),
and checked the "Run in Background" option box so that worker
starts the VIM process in a separate shell.

Not sure why the "&" would work with Kate, except that
VIM runs as a terminal program and Kate works from a
KDE GUI environment.

Hope that solves it for you.  I'm running Worker 2.17.3
on Mint  8 (ubuntu 9.10 based).

HTH!
peace
