Is there something Stephen> i can configure to do this? I have been having the same trouble, but a quick hack/fix that works is to make sure no xterm owns the selection. ie. Highlight some text in an xterm window, then do a mouse-button-1, which will de-select the text. Now if you do a epoch region selection, the cut/paste will work fine. I belive the problem relates to epoch (emacs also too), not being able saving the cut test in the primary cut buffer, if it still owned by some other client.
