Well in all fairness, in my usual Linux distro, I can use the universal method of copy/pasting - the middle mouse button. It's only because of the nature of pdaXrom and the fact that even an emulated middle mouse button doesn't always work as it should in it that we have to resort to using an actual clipboard app as a go-between.

(Or perhaps some window managers have better support for middle-mouse button emulation then Fluxbox - I have only used this though, so I 'make-do' with xclipboard ^__^)

I haven't tried using an actual mouse via the usb connector - perhaps with a 'real' middle button you could copy and paste as you wanted to?

I'll add one more post. This should be a very basic function.
People, like me who don't type very fast, always use ctrl+c & ctrl+v to copy paste from one application to another.
I know I'm comparing Cacko again, but I copied three entire seasons of "Alias" television episode scripts, from opera to hancom word, with no problem except it took awhile.
If I had to type all that manually, it would have taken me days or a week.

I've actually had a problem like this with dillo, and also with SciTE... do you think this could be the cause? Perhaps these programs have blocked the clipboard interface somehow. Can anyone second that?

Here's a more clear explanation of what I'm talking about:

I believe what I have noticed is that using the mouse button copy/paste works between apps while each app seems to get its own clipboard.
