I've been using Unix since the 80's, and prefer X's left-button-drag-cut (or double or triple click) and middle-button-paste to WinDoh's, but, these days, nothing seems to work. I mostly use KDE, Konsole, Evolution, Firefox, and OpenOffice, and mostly just want to copy and paste text between these apps. Copy/paste within the same Konsole session seems to work properly, but, between apps is hit-and-miss. I.e. I'll copy some text from an OpenOffice editor (using left and middle mouse clicks), and paste into a Konsole... and it takes a couple of tries before it pastes. Aggravating. In years past, this worked seamlessly... but my last few revs of OpenSuSE (the only place where I use a GUI) seem to have lost the ability to cut and paste w/o multiple tries. I tried cutting a graphical section out of Acrobat.. and it said it had put it to the clipboard, but I could not paste into any app, including "gimp". Cut&paste within an app is not that helpful, we need to cut and paste between apps. Does X need to "go back to the drawing board"? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
