Wow thanks for the quick reply Aaron. Yes the middle mouse button is the one I'm referring to.
I never used to have the problem and would be able to transparently copy and paste from application to application regardless of whether it was GTK based, KDE or other (apps running under Wine being the exception). Just as it used to work consistently, it now doesn't work consistently. For example, I'd try to highlight a line or paragraph on a web-page and paste it into a document (Kwrite, Kedit, Kate or OO), copy things to and from a console window, copy console outputs into emails etc. Could be something to do with the "gesture" feature having appropriated my middle mouse button? I haven't enabled it intentionally, but did come across it. Marcel On Fri, 2004-12-31 at 15:03 -0700, Aaron J.
