If xterm can't use the CLIPBOARD selection then it's broken I'm afraid. gnome-terminal for instance can use both (shift-ctrl-v pastes clipboard). I guess Konsole is similar. The solution isn't to break wine, really it's to unbreak xterm (or for you to use a different terminal emulator). thanks -mike
