Hi, I am using a very vanilla XFree86 installation on fbsd 5.3. I am using ratpoison as my window manager. If I highlight text in an xterm, it is immediately in my buffer, and I can paste it into that xterm, or any other xterm. Further, if I copy text in my web browser, I can paste it into all my xterms. However, I cannot take text that I copied in my xterm and paste it into my browser (opera). Why is this ? Why can I go in one direction (paste from opera into xterm) but not the other (paste from xterm into opera) ? thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
