Re: Re: (clug-talk) Local File URL "feature"

Thank Aaron, didnt think to associate the Klipper app with that url completion thing. One more semi-related question. I have noticed that one of the little "blips" I have seen across KDE and GNOME apps is inconsistent copy/paste behavior and at times, having say an entire page that I ctl-a, copied, only past a portion into some other app, and often, some apps not being able to past at all? Any way to improve clipboard functioanality, or maybe its a result of how the develper has written his/her app to work with the Klipper, or whatever is used by GNOME?
