I am having a problem with the clipboard that is really annoying me.
It is not openSUSE specific, but happens with openSUSE as well as with
other Unix OSes.

I am working in a MeidaWiki, making changes to a bunch of pages.  The
work flow is:
 - edit a wiki page
 - paste in the new text with Ctrl+V
 - highlight and delete some old text
 - save the edits
 - move on to the next page
The changes cannot be scripted because the deleted text is not the
same in every page, and the pasted text goes in different spots
depending on the page.

Anyway, this all works fine until I happen to click away from
Firefox... for example to restore Thunderbird to check my email.  No
other clicking.. just restore Thunderbird and read but not edit or
reply to messages (so, no copy paste actions and no text
highlighting)... then I return to Firefox.

When I return to Firefox, the text in the Ctrl+C clipboard buffer has
been replaced by the text that was last highlighted in the workflow
above.

This happens on openSUSE10.2 in KDE and Gnome... as well as in Solaris
with Gnome... sadly it is not consistent.... it doesn't happen every
time I click away... maybe half the time.

Has anyone else bumped into this?  Any ideas or suggestions how to
prevent the Ctrl+C clipboard from loosing it's copied data?
