This version [LyX Version 1.5.2] of Lyx seems to require the Ctrl+c to copy and Ctrl+v command. Just highlight then middle mouse button [scrollwheel] or double right/left mouse click to paste into a Lyx document doesn't work in Debian testing. Using Icewm. If there is a selected passage in any other program, prior to starting Lyx, you can just copy with the double mouse or scrollwheel click. It seems that as Lyx loads up, after something has been highlighted it works because Lyx gathers that information from the clipboard, which copies highlighted text. This may not be the case using KDE? -- Registered Linux User:- 329524 ********************************************************** When it's over, I want to say: all my life I was a bride married to amazement.
