One of the big problems of KDE 2 is that it uses QT 2. One of the big problems of QT 2 is that it doesn't use the X clipboard protocol. Thus KDE 2's implementation of the clipboard is badly broken. Gnome 1.4 handles this correctly. QT 3.0 correctly uses the clipboard protocol. KDE 3 is based on QT 3. Thus KDE 3 will work correctly with the X clipboard (and interoperate with the gnome clipboard). Many people seem to think KDE 3 is not changing anything with regards the kde system. But this one change alone is a *major* improvement IMHO. So perhaps the answer to your problems lies in KDE 3? for more info... http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/clipboards.txt http://dot.kde.org/1006384488/1006476851/1006480500/1006486361/ http://mail.gnome.org/archives/wm-spec-list/2000-November/msg00023.html Kind Regards Crispin Wellington -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
