(BTW, a comment on FreeDesktop specs: they're basically supposed to be agreements between various desktop and WM developers on how to do things)
> Did they move this feature somewhere else in HEAD? Yes, to the libraries; see http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/kdelibs/kdecore/kclipboard.cpp?rev=1.29&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup KClipboard::self() is called in KApplication::init(); my understand is that this is supposed be reliable, unlike clipper trying to do it. > Take a look at slotCopyLinkLocation().

Actually, if you see above, it seems to me that both behaviors look consistent with it, but that it doesn't matter most of the time because you usually have to select to do Ctrl-C.

Hmm, looks like both Ctrl-V and Middle-click paste work. (Checking, I have synchronization off). With rxvt, the middle-click doesn't. So I think the reason is probably quite different -- it's storing a complex mimetype URL and not a plaintext one, and that somehow isn't decodeable for rxvt/Eterm.. Running the following: #include <qapplication.h> #include <qclipboard.h> #include <qmime.h> int main(int argc, char** argv) { QApplication app(argc,argv); QClipboard* clip = QApplication::clipboard(); clip->setSelectionMode(true); QMimeSource* data = clip ->data(); if (!data) qFatal("No data in clipboad!"); int pos = 0; while (data->format(pos)) { qDebug("Format supported:%s", data->format(pos)); pos++; } } On the paste results for text I get: Format supported:text/plain;charset=UTF-8 Format supported:text/plain Format supported:text/plain;charset=ISO-8859-1 Format supported:text/plain;charset=UTF-8 Format supported:text/plain;charset=ISO-10646-UCS-2 Format supported:text/plain While for the URL copy I get: Format supported:text/plain;charset=UTF-8 Format supported:text/plain Format supported:text/plain;charset=ISO-8859-1 Format supported:text/uri-list Format supported:text/plain I don't know anything about QClipboard internals, but I guess I'll look it up.. Thoughts?
