Since evolution is a GNOME application, without looking I'd imagine what's occurring is that since there is no PRIMARY selection any longer, it's pasting whatever's in CLIPBOARD. > Copying form Gedit to Evolution, the middle click approach exhibits the > same problem, whereas, the ctrl-c/v works even after Gedit is closed. Again, Gedit no longer owns PRIMARY, since it's no longer running. Regarding CLIPBOARD, they're both GNOME applications. :) Perhaps one of Fedora's GNOME packagers can step up and describe exactly how they've configured things. Or you can always look at the X resources yourself. -- Marc Wilson | msw@xxxxxxx | -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
