- The problem is that Epoch (as well as most other x clients) uses
- the PRIMARY selection. Openwindows clients (like shelltool) uses the
- CLIPBOARD selection.
-
- You can tell epoch to use the CLIPBOARD by inserting
- (setq mouse::selection-atom (intern-atom "CLIPBOARD"))
-
- into your ~/.emacs (works with epoch-4.2 at least).
