Ha! Seems that I'm not alone with this! :-) On Thu, 28 Aug 2008 07:11:23 -0700 (PDT), Christopher Joyner <chris27wjoyner@yahoo.com> wrote: > When I switch from my Xorg running KDE, for some reason it > pushes a string as keypresses to the KDE.

I have a similar problem: Whenever I return to X, coming from a text mode console, the content of the edit buffer (select with mouse, output with middle button) gets output to the window that has the focus at this moment (focus on mouse, not on click). In Opera, the right-click mouse menu is shown. In an X terminal, the text is passed to the shell - and executed, if it contains a line break (usually if multiline text was in the buffer). > Here is my setup! > On tty3 is my Xorg KDE desktop.

Try to reproduce this, maybe we're encountering the same problem: Select some text with the mouse, open an editor or X terminal and place the mouse into it (or assert that it has focus according to your focus model). Then, switch Ctrl+Alt+PF8, and return to X with Ctrl+Alt+PF3. Is the text you had selected now in the X terminal or the editor? If not, don't mind my reply. > So I decided to put up a blank text pad in kedit to see what happens. > What I get is a url string is pushed to the pad. > I believe this happens when coming back to the Desktop KDE. If it's the same problem that I have, it's generic to X.org, because I'm using WindowMaker, not KDE, and I've tried XFCE 3 and 4, too, with the same problem. It seems that the URI that is passed to Konqueror is in the edit butter. Try to press the middle mouse button within an editor. Is the URI output to the editor as it would be to Konqueror? -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
