Take an even simpler case I can highlight some text in firefox and right click and copy, I then cannot paste that text into an email with thunderbird. I get the menu item actually to paste but when I select it nothing populates. I am certain I have done this in the past. Lets leave the gnome-terminal out of the picture. So I was wondering the if there is a particular package I could try reinstalling. But it sounds like its "built" into X so I doubt it. Anything else to try before doing a fresh install? Thanks so much, Jerry
