So... at your suggestion of changing window managers I decided to first try a cifferent terminal program (xterm) and guess what! it looks like my issue is with eterm! so... Im off to google land to see if there is a parameter or something I can add to make copy/paste work!. Note: I can copy/paste from eterm to xterm and vice versa, and I can copy paste from xterm to xterm, and from eterm to eterm. I can copy from kde apps to gnome and back, I can copy from eterm to gnome apps, just not from eterm to kde apps (atleast not under enlightenment/gnome).
Also I should note that this issue is new with slack 9, didnt have a problem under slack 8 (or any previous versions) Jamie On Friday 22 August 2003 12:38 pm, Bob Crandell wrote: : Try http://www.dropline.net/gnome/ It will update Gnome to the latest and : greatest, including a lot of bug fixes.
