This is the default behavior of X. Highlighting IS copying to the |
| 2 |
clipboard. Also, middle-click (or whatever is mapped to your 3rd mouse |
| 3 |
button) is paste. This is just how X works. Getting around this is a |
| 4 |
hack in itself. |

Next time you are on an Solaris or AIX workstation - know that |
| 7 |
cut/paste is the same (as X intended): highlight and 3rd button click. |
