Re: clipboard issue

Had the same problem until I added the argument:   -emulate3buttons    to my
startxwin.sh, at the line that starts X.

The problem isn't in your clipboard but in your inability to interact
properly with it.

Now, start two xterms....  fill your copy buffer by highlighting some text
in one window.
move to other window, and hit both mouse buttons at the same time... should
paste the text to that second window.
