7 I use Klipper and have it configured so that both clipboard buffers are
8 synced. Normally this works fine. However some GTK based programs
9 *always* puts whatever is highlighted onto the clipboard - it doesn't
10 matter *how* it was highlighted - ie whether I specifically mouse
11 dragged, or shift cursor, or even when the program itself highlighted it
12 (eg usually when you TAB within a dialog the text in a text input is
13 automatically highlighted).
14
15 It is this last behaviour which is the most annoying - if I didn't
16 specifically highlighted then I don't want it on the clipboard, but gtk
17 based programs thinks otherwise. Another reason why I hate gtk and
18 gnome :)
