Hi,

I have a little problem with the copy/paste in wmii, mainly between
urxvt and opera (firefox, thunderbird etc...), When i select something
in urxvt i can't paste it in firefox, the only solution I found is to
use autocutsel[1] in 2 ways (not like we do it in Gnome etc...), In
gnome it can be done via:
- --------- CUT
autocutsel -selection CLIPBOARD -fork
- --------- CUT

In wmii I do it with:
- --------- CUT
autocutsel -selection CLIPBOARD -fork
autocutsel -selection PRIMARY -fork
- --------- CUT

This solve the problem but in an irritating way, I can copy from urxvt
to opera but If i select (accidentally) something in opera, it replaces
what is in the CLIPBOARD/PRIMARY buffers and i have to go to urxvt to
copy it again...

Anyone has a better solution for it? there's a discussion at Arch Linux
forum[2] about this subject..
