I am running SuSE 6.4 , XF86 4 with PS/2 mouse and XF86Config Section
"InputDevice" with ... Option "Emulate3Buttons" and GPM activated in the Linux
configuration.

The problems are pasting from K desktop environment
applications to Abiword. And, there is no mouse only cut and paste within
Abiword in either windows manager. Interestingly, mouse only cut and paste into
Abiword and from Abiword does work with certain applications as follows.

In KDE:
 copy and paste
 From Abiword 0.7.9 to:
 Kedit ok
 Konsole ok
 kvt terminal ok
 Kmail ok
 Netscape composer ok

 paste to Abiword from:
 Netscape navigator 4.72 ok
 Kedit No
 Konsole No
 kvt terminal No
 Kmail No

In fwm2:
 copy and paste
 From Abiword 0.7.9 to:
 xterm ok
 fvwmConsole ok
 kvt terminal ok
 Kmail ok
 Netscape messenger ok

 paste to Abiword from:
 xterm ok
 fvwmConsole ok
 Netscape messenger ok
 Netscape Navigator ok
