I really don’t know if any 3rd party software is interfering, but I do
know that the exact minute I finished installing 2.7.2, copy and paste
stopped working. I tried all options in X11 preferences, and all
copy-and-paste methods from both sides of X. Absolutely nothing works.
Perhaps I can try to *downgrade* back to 2.7.1 and see if that
reactivates copy-and-paste...
