Comment 1 for bug 170185

Hell alltogether!

Guido Günther <agx at debian dot org> reported this bug
to the Debian BTS
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=232216):

copy/paste between applications seems to be non
functional with
inkscape. E.g. when I type a text in abiword, copy it
to the clipboard
and hit "paste" in inkscape it says: "Nothing is in the
clipboard"
although the same works fine between e.g. abiword and
gnumeric.

In private he told me, that at least the menu item
should be grey (inactive) if there is nothing pastable
in the clipboard, which ist reasonable. Additionally, I
think at least text should be copy-pasteable between
applications.

Best regards,

Wolfi
