Your message is not informative enough. Please describe what you did, what happened, and what you expected to happen. Something like this: I started a gnome-terminal (window 1) I started another gnome-terminal (window 2) I selected window 2 for focus I moved the mouse pointer over some text with the left button held down in window 2 the text was highlighted in window 2 I moved the mouse pointer to window 1 and selected focus I pressed the center mouse wheel button I expected a copy of the highlighted text in window 2 to appear in window 1 the text did not appear Then you can get some help. But at present, we have only a very vague feeling of what might be wrong. Mike -- p="p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}";main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} This message made from 100% recycled bits. You have found the bank of Larn. I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
