[SLUG] Copy and Paste

[James Gregory <james@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

I'm becoming increasingly frustrated at the copy and paste behaviour of
my linux desktops. Sometimes I can press ctrl-v to paste, other times a
middle-click will work, sometimes the two behaviours both work but do
different things. I don't really see the pattern. I understand that this
is because GTK and X use different copy and paste mechanisms. What I
want to know is: Is there any way to make this behaviour more
consistent? Can I disable one of (either of) these mechanisms, so that
it works one way, all the time? Can I synchronise them? What's the best
thing to do?

Thanks,

James.
