Hi Martin,
I can't paste from abiword to vim or gvim. Other way around works fine though (and no, I didn't forget to go into insert mode in vi ;-) ). Strange, huh? Is this an issue with the 'true' X-clipboard (the ^C ^V) behaviour in for instance Mozilla and the 'selection gets stored for middle mouse paste' function. B.t.w. even if I select and then ^C in abiword, I can't paste to vim/gvim.
