Expanding on what Matt said, there are some applications or combinations of circumstances in which <Ctrl>v works, and others where only the middle button works. In KDE, with Klipper running, I can use <Ctrl>v in many applications, but in console only the middle button works, and I usually have to have the (mouse) cursor very close to where I want the paste to occur. Hope this helps, Randy Kramer
