Summary: does your copy/paste work?
Keywords: shelltool

Hello folks,

I'm running NetBSD 0.9 off the first issue of the BSDisc CD.  My system is
a Dell 466/T with a 1M S3805 video chip.  I'm running XFree86 2.0 also
from the BSDisc.  All of the X stuff (which the exception of the server, which
I got from sun-lamp) is FreeBsd binaries.

I've also got the FreeBsd xview32 package installed, and am runnin olwm
as my window manager.

My problem is this:  I can not copy and paste text within (or between)
shelltools and cmdtools.  Trying to do so will crash the shelltool at best,
and take down the whole X server at worst. 

Copy/paste works fine with xterms (but I despise xterms..).

Has anybody else encountered (and fixed!) this problem?  There is no indication
within the xview32 package as to who did the port, or I would send them
a note rather than asking the world.

While I'm on the subject, does anyone have the owplaces layout saving command?



				Thanks,
