Re: [LUG] always bugged me - default clipboard action

[Rich Smith <Richard.J.Smith@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It may not be entirley related to mouse behaviour just what gets copied to the 
clipboard when text is highlighted (by mouse or cursor keys), so the 
underlying system may be at a lower level than the shell/WM your in. I've 
never seen any posted work around and I've seen alot of ppl not like the 
default behaviour in both lists and mags.
