Paste problem with 17" powerbook

Paste problem with 17" powerbook


  • Subject: Paste problem with 17" powerbook

I've been  using X11 on a 12" 800 MHz powerbook for several months without
problems.  Recently I installed X11 on a new 17" powerbook and I have the
following strange problem. The problem is reproducible, even when i boot
the 17" powerbook off the 12" PB hard disk:

Sometimes copy and past (by highlighting and option-clicking, respectively)
work fine.  However, most times, when I paste (option-click), nothing happens
until I touch the trackpad.  Thus, for reliable pasting, the sequence on
my 17" powerbook is:  option-click, then touch trackpad.

Wierd!!!  Any advice?


Also, any chance quartz-wm  will either support multiple, desktops, or better yet,
be compatible  with CodeTek Virtual  Desktop?


Thanks for your help.

Mike
