I was not even aware of the problem and it is not even serious as giving focus to a window before pasting avoids it. Should they fix this issue, the patch itself would become redundant but not harmful, so it should be safe. On the other hand it is something that testifies the quality of a software, so I think it is worth committing with some explanatory comment. As regards the complication, well, it's only cmake that makes it complicated for me ;) -- Enrico
