I tried a few things. see that xconsole window that pops up when starting SuSE??? Select from it... paste into emacs...worked. Select from emacs into address bar of konq browser...worked Select from xconsole window and paste into konq....does not work. There are about a jillion inconsistencies I have experienced so far. Unfortunately I don't rmemeber where so that I can describe them. I wish I could disable this mouse-select-paste feature. It really sucks. Here's why: In the middle of my work I sometimes have to cut'n paste a URL into konq address bar. That way to do it in windows is to: 1) Select your new URL that you want to paste into address bar and do CTRL+C. 2) Double click inside the address bar to select the old URL. 3) do CTRL+V. This essentially replaces the old URL with the new one that you wantr In Linux this does not work. Becase step 2) automatically puts the old URL into the paste buffer---replacing the URL that you wanted to paste in the address bar. I either have to to to klipper and select the URL that I really wanted or replace step 2 with: 2b) Do not double click inside the address bar. Instead. Click inside. Go to the end of the URL by using the END key on the keyboard. Hold BACKSPACE for a couple of seconds to delete the old URL completely. And then paste the new URL into the window. Definitely this takes longer. I wish I could just disable this feature. Salman On Tuesday 02 July 2002 03:41, Derek Fountain wrote:

And let me add something. Cut'n paste and the consistency among applications as far as being able to cut'n paste still sucks in KDE 3.0 :-(
It does? Drag to select, middle mouse button to paste has never failed me yet.
