My /etc/profile does not have it disabled. /etc/profile has nothing to do with cutting and pasting in X. If you have a two-button mouse, you need to make sure you have Emulate3Buttons turned on in your XF86Config file, and then use both buttons together to simulate the middle mouse button you're lacking. If you have a three-button mouse, just use the middle button to paste whatever is highlighted. -- Greg Wooledge| Truth belongs to everybody.
