This is one of those issues that's hard to pin down to a specific component. There once was a time when a user could select any text in a window, place the mouse cursor over an editable text buffer, middle click, and the selected text would be inserted at the location of the pointer. That seems to still work under most circumstances, provided I select the text using the mouse. If I select the text using the keyboard, it appears all bets are off. ....snip.... Is there something generally hosed in X these days? Are other people having similar problems?
I am having what might be a related problem. When running VNC to a Win2K system, I copy text in Windows, then press F8 and select "Clipboard: local <- remote", but nothing ever shows up from the VNC session in the KDE Klipper buffer. Using F8 to go the other direction always works. Jim Cunning
