Cannot paste with middle mouse button from Nedit 5.1.1 to gnome-terminal

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17-14smp i686) This problem is reproducible between several users and two installations of wolverine. Highlighting text in the editor Nedit 5.1.1 and using the middle mouse button to paste into gnome-terminal does not work. However, it does work between gnome-terminal and emacs, xterm and netscape, and nedit. Also with nedit and the above applications. Not sure if it's an nedit, gnome-terminal, or XFree86 bug. However, I have tried gnome-core-1.2.4-11 and XFree86-4.0.2-12.1 from rawhide, and these packages do not resolve the problem. It works fine on Guiness. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Higlight text in nedit 2. Use middle mouse button in gnome-terminal 3. It doesn't work Actual Results: Nothing Expected Results: Highlighted text should appear in gnome-terminal
It works for me here, I can't reproduce it with latest gnome-core and nedit packages. Anyone else able to reproduce?
In light of the last comment, I tried a running a gnome-terminal from a machine running wolverine, locally on a machine running Guinness using ssh. Still can't paste from any version of nedit running on any machine to this particular gnome-terminal. I copied the binary from the Guiness machine to the wolverine machine. Still the same problem. PS : the message 'Selection retrieval failed' appears in the terminal where the gnome-terminal is run from
Maybe try the Guinness libzvt (in gnome-libs) on Wolverine, and see if that fixes it, that'll help narrow it down.
On upgrading to gnome-libs-1.2.8-10 from rawhide the problem is resolved. Cheers!
