That is why I use Klipper and set it to sync both "clipboards". That way I can cut and paste between practically all applications. I remember when I first started using linux years ago and was rather frustrated when I couldn't copy and paste between gtk/qt/tk/etc based programs. > I can also see why someone would be a nazi (like the realplayer people > are) for the "second way". You still don't seem to get my point. The realplayer people is using a "third way" - aka "the stupid way", because simply opening a dialog *should not* change the contents of the clipboard (unless the sole purpose of the dialog *was* to change the clipboard but let's not be pedantic). Another (gtk) program that exhibits this stupid behaviour is iso master (Image > Properties). -- Crayon -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
