Bug Description
Binary package hint: klipper
There seem to be some problems with lesstif interaction with klipper. Specifically with NEdit (but presumably with other apps), Copy/Paste works intermittently.

Part of an email from the NEdit list:
>>We are aware of various clipboard locking problems with some versions of
Lesstif and OpenMotif, but to the best of our knowledge, the problems
are in (some versions of) those libraries. An often common factor is
that KDE's clipboard manager (Klipper) is monopolizing the clipboard,
which seems to increase the likelyhood that something goes wrong.
In our current CVS version we take some countermeasures, but it is not
known whether they have any effect as the problem is not easily
reproducable.

Hey Timothy,
Is this issue still rearing its ugly head? If so, what versions are you running? Thanks!
