This is probably really simple, but it is driving me nuts. I am sending this
from KMail, a KDE mail application that is x-windows-based.

Unlike other X11 applications that I can paste from the OSX copy- buffer (or whatever it is called), I can't do this into KDE (and I can't do the inverse
operation).

If I want to copy a string of text from a web page displayed in safari, I
first have to paste it into a non-KDE X11 application (xterm, nedit,
whatever), and then select that text and paste it into KDE. That seems
insane.

Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a better work-around or fix? I should mention I am running this and other kde applications as stand-alone in
Apple's X11 rootless environment, 10.4.5, etc.

Thanks.

Bill

PS:  The latest KMail seems vastly more stable.



You might try installing autocutsel.

nope, doesn't work. I've got the same problem with konsole. KDE is simply broken concerning the use of X selections (I tried autocutsel on all buffers I could find).
