I don't have konqueror, but I do have kedit and konsole, and I can cut and paste from and to those. > Is that just on Solaris?

All of these work fine, as expected. I discovered it on Solaris, but the same thing also happens on my Linux box which is Red Hat 5.1 (!) with Mozilla 1.3, gtk+-1.2.6-7, qt-2.1.1, licq-1.2.4-1. > Perhaps the problem has to do with... hm... maybe a different encoding > being used in Netscape than in Licq?

However, note that this version of kde is linked against qt-1.42 and so may not provide an accurate diagnosis. That said, klipper did record accurately everything I selected, whether in Mozilla, Licq or anywhere else. Hmm. But I also have a machine that I can log into remotely (using my RH5.1 machine as the display), running Red Hat 7.3 with qt-3.0.5 and licq-1.2.0a, and cut and paste works properly on that. S'pose I should consider upgrading to qt 3, some time. imc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ValueWeb: Dedicated Hosting for just $79/mo with 500 GB of bandwidth!
