Any ideas how to do this without restarting the machine?
Dick, Have you tried killing X, then restarting it? Every now and then the cut-and-paste functions fail between applications when X is running. I learned that killing X and restarting it fixed the problem. It doesn't occur frequently so I haven't bothered trying to learn why cut-and-paste fails, I just restart Xfce. Regards, Rich
