I can bring up klipper after highlighting text in eterm and grab it that way. Its an extra step though. I'm used to just grabbing it from eterm, and a simple middle mouse button click puts it anywhere I want it to go. -- /\ Dark Lord \/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I'm used to just grabbing it from eterm, and a simple middle mouse button click puts it anywhere I want it to go. It's hazy memory time g. I have always found that while the highlight/middle-click thing worked usually, there were some occasions where ctrl-c had to be used - sometimes with ctrl-v, and sometimes the middle-click worked. Never did figure out why I had these occasional problems, I just got into the habit of going back to the terminal and doing ctrl-v if it hadn't worked.
