I tend to agree with you, you can blame KDE. There are two standards. The X standard is to highlight the text in one application and then middle-click in the other. The KDE standard is to follow MS (ctrl-c, ctrl-x, ctrl-v), which is fine for useability; I often want to replace some text with pasted text and the KDE method is much easier. Many applications obey both standards, but some don't. I find that I cannot paste from eterm to kmail for example. -- Richard Urwin
