Description of Problem: I can't cut and paste from exmh. I can select text in exmh. This text will be available in xclipboard, but if I try and paste it into a gnome-term nothing happens (either using middle button or gnome-terminal's menu option). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): exmh-2.4-2.noarch.rpm tk-8.3.3-64.i386.rpm tcl-8.3.3-64.i386.rpm gnome-core-1.4.0.4-28.i386.rpm How Reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select some text in exmh 2. Try to paste into gnome terminal Actual Results: Nothing Expected Results: Text should be pasted Additional Information: This is a vanilla roswell2 installation. I suspect it's a tk/tcl problem, but I don't use any other tk/tcl apps.
On futher investigation I found: exmh -> gnome-terminal fails exmh -> Other apps (xterm, opera, xedit, xclipboard) works Other apps -> gnome terminal works I think exmh is putting selections on the clipboard selection, while gnome terminal is expecting them on the primary.
This should no longer apply to 8.0 gnome-terminal.
