Thanks Jan, but I put this in my .Xresources file (I had to create
one) and there was no change in the mouse-cut-paste-java-clipboard behaviour.
I also tried it in /var/X11R6/lib/xdm/Xresources, but no luck.
My system is Slackware 3.6, fvwm2, XFree86, jdk_1.1.7.
Could you tell me what the 3 lines are supposed to do? i.e. why do we
need 2 "insert-selection" lines? Where is the "As mentioned elsewhere"?
Are there not 3 clipboards? PRIMARY,CUT_BUFFER0, and CLIPBOARD?
"man xclipboard" gives code similar to yours, but some differences.
cheers,
