Even for those who don't know what the thing means, they will get the point that the clipboard handling has changed. And now that the clipboard handling has changed, there are going to be people who want the old setting back. Do you think that this tip will get that point across, that klipper will let them do it? That's the real goal here, not to give a lecture on some X11R6 document. -- Neil Stevens neil@qualityassistant.com Don't think of a bug as a problem. Think of it as a call to action.
