Warning - personal experience ahead: 1. Copying from aqua --to--> KDE is being done via xclipboard, in my case (cmd-C from aqua - then click on xclipboard - then ctrl-V into KDE). Though it may appear cumbersome, I just got used to it, and it became second nature. I am writing right now from KMail (Kontact), and it is the only mail app I am using on my powerbook, so it pretty much tells you i I could afford using such solution (in the absence of something better). So - I launch xclipboard from within the startup script for X11, then just have it there available for any aqua --> X11 copy/pastes. As a side issue - one thing that helped me was the use of Desktop Manager, so that my X11 apps all stay on one desktop, vs. all other native apps then moving between various X11 apps, themselves (e.g. xclipboard --> Kmail) takes place via cmd-~ NOTE: For completeness reasons: from KDE to aqua - cmd-C --> cmd-V (vs ctrl, on one of the other way steps!) 2. I have had numerous problems installing and/or upgrading KDE apps, up until recently, when - on an advice received on this list (can't remember whom I should be giving credit to - sorry) - I have upgraded to the latest XCode (2.2.1?!?), which resolved many problems with fink installs, also. May want to try that (for the non-working KDE folks).
