FYI, the copy/paste feature accessed through Ctrl-C/V/X is a standard X
feature, just like the mouse-based left-click/middle-click feature. You
can use Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V to cut & paste between a GTK+ app and a KDE app,
for example.
You might want to see <http://www.jwz.org/doc/x-cut-and-paste.html>.
I've tested a lot of cut & paste bug reports for mozilla and that
document is pretty accurate.
