Thanks Jozsef,

That's perfect information.

I think so, the Konsole app doesn't seem to use the PRIMARY selection 
properly (i.e. in a standard way), that is why test6 doesn't automatically 
remove the selection from it.

The primary selection is when you highlight something in xterm and then 
(whilst it is still highlighted) use the middle button to click in another 
xterm (or the same one, or another compliant x application).  This is the 
standard way to perform cutting and pasting.  This works properly with both 
versions of xwinclip for compliant applications.

Just to check (I don't have kde available) this when you say copy/paste do 
you mean the edit menu copy and paste?  Or do you mean highlight in Konsole 
and then use the middle button.  (although at some stage in the next few 
months I may get another box for linux).

regards,

Chris
