That is why I use Klipper and set it to sync both "clipboards". That way I |
| 9 |
can cut and paste between practically all applications. I remember when I |
| 10 |
first started using linux years ago and was rather frustrated when I |
| 11 |
couldn't copy and paste between gtk/qt/tk/etc based programs. |

You still don't seem to get my point. The realplayer people is using |
| 17 |
a "third way" - aka "the stupid way", because simply opening a dialog |
| 18 |
*should not* change the contents of the clipboard (unless the sole |
| 19 |
purpose of the dialog *was* to change the clipboard but let's not be |
| 20 |
pedantic). |

Another (gtk) program that exhibits this stupid behaviour is iso master |
| 23 |
(Image > Properties). |
