Getting clipboard information from X to go into wine?

[vonkwink]

Hello,

I am brand new to wine, so please forgive my noobiness

When I copy things in X,it does not go into wine. How might I fix this? A few sites I have searched have mentioned editing some settings in a wine config file, but I haven't been able to find mine. Am I supposed to create it myself? If so, is there a basic one I can copy from somewhere and then modify (I wasn't sure if the ones I found were updated to the latest version of wine)

thanks!

There are a lot of cut'n'paste oddities between X and Wine, e.g.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7372
(and one more I can't find right now which is something to do with ole32)

or between Wine and Wine, for that matter:

http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4523

I would document the behaviour thoroughly (and reproducibly - note
problems in above bugs reproducing the problems) and see if it's an
existing bug or something new.

What things? Just tries copying and pasting text - works fine. Are you doing something more then just a text?

Hi, thanks for your responses.

Yes, even plain text does not seem to copy into wine. I can play with it some more, I guess.

Make sure you really _COPY_ not just select. By default Wine works with "clipboard" not primary selection.
