Hi Bob,

Thank you for the suggestion.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work.
1. I've created that file and put the content you suggested
2. I've reboot the system
3. After logging in, I've tried to select & paste with touchpad from
the terminal:
- with XFCE terminal, the effect is like a right-click followed by a
left-click (i.e., it opens a new terminal window)
- with XTerm, the effect is a "do nothing"

I'm considering to report a bug, unless someone tells me this is a new
feature of F22

Cheers,

Marco
