    Hi Martin,

    I can't paste from abiword to vim or gvim. Other way around works fine
    though (and no, I didn't forget to go into insert mode in vi ;-) ).

    Strange, huh? Is this an issue with the 'true' X-clipboard (the ^C ^V)
    behaviour in for instance Mozilla and the 'selection gets stored for
    middle mouse paste' function. B.t.w. even if I select and then ^C in
    abiword, I can't paste to vim/gvim.

    Greetings,

    Michiel Toneman
