But I'm a bit lost as to how it works. Copy/paste text is a bit slow but works fine (v 2.0.1 on Xubuntu 12.04). But for images or pdf, I need to proceed as follows: copyq write image/png - < newfile2.png
then I need to open CopyQ, select the item labeled 0, then hit the Move to Clipboard button. Now ctrl+v in LyX will paste the image (but this doesn't seem to work in LibO, though). This can't be that complicated. Am I doing something wrong?
