Actually, I was using 4.1 on RH 6.2 and it worked fine. It's either the XFree code for kernel 2.4 or changes made for Enigma that's causing the problem (I think it's the former). Get yourself a mouse with more than 2 buttons for Christmas! You know if you have one of those MS wheel ones that counts as a button (the only good product Microsoft makes :~). Xpert's, Emulate3Buttons is borken on RH 7.2 (XFree 4.1.0 w/ heavily patched kernel 2.4.7). You used to be able to depress one button and then at your leasure hit the other to paste the buffer. No longer. Now both buttons must be depressed within Emulate3Timeout. The problem with that is described above. See the Enigma list for the full thread.
