No problem. As long as we're taking each other in good spirit. Or
spirits.

Inspired by this discussion, I decided to install autocutsel and see
how that works out.

At work I have a Windows XP machine at my desk on which I run True
X-Mouse to get something approximating X behavior on Windows. For
development, I use NoMachine to display an X desktop (KDE) running
on a Linux machine in the back room. With all those windowing
systems and clipboard workarounds (True X-Mouse and autocutsel), it
will be interesting to see if it all actually works together.

Gary
