Part of an email from NEdit list: >>We are aware of various clipboard locking problems with some versions of Lesstif and OpenMotif, but to the best of our knowledge, the problems are in (some versions of) those libraries. An often common factor is that KDE's clipboard manager (Klipper) is monopolizing the clipboard, which seems to increase the likelyhood that something goes wrong.
In our current CVS version we take some countermeasures, but it is not known whether they have any effect as the problem is not easily reproducable. Eddy<< Looks like it could be a problem with KDE.
