I just started running X on my 2.2-ALPHA system (saw too many problems with the beta version :-). I noticed about half the time I hit the right button it pastes a 'd' into whatever application is active. And when I hit the middle button, it pastes the 'd' and perhaps that buffer after the 'd' (depending one where the mouse is). This is especially annoying when dealing with scroll-bars and other applications that take the 'd' key to mean something. I'm not entirely sure what's wrong, but maybe someone else has noticed. The system is running moused, XF86_SVGA, and fvwm (and a whole boatload of xterms and other applications). -- Zach Heilig (zach@blizzard.gaffaneys.com) | ALL unsolicited commercial email Support bacteria -- it's the only | is unwelcome.
