    Hi Folks,
            I would really like to get to the bottom of this. See bug 2348 in
    bugzilla.

    http://www.abisource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2348

    To summerize my investigations:

    copy and paste works fine with the following apps into abiword.

    emacs
    gnome-terminal
    netscape
    galeon
    xterm
    konquerer
    gnumeric

    I cannot copy and paste from kword into abiword.

    Copy and paste works works fine from abiword to:

    emacs
    gnome-terminal
    netscape
    galeon
    xterm
    konquerer
    gnumeric
    kword

    This is with redhat 7.2. Could people please quantify which applications
    do and don't work. All these tests use the middle mouse button to paste.

    KDE is blaming us for this but I don't want to a lot of work for all this
    and find out it is their fault (which we can't fix.)

    Thanks!

    Martin
