| I love Linux, but the cut and paste situation is really terrible. The middle mouse paste isn't a problem for me--it's that there are two separate "clipboard" buffers, which just causes all sorts of problems. |

| Having two separate clipboard buffers is a feature I intentionally use. |

| You can unify the middle mouse selection and the regular clipboard in KDE if you wish. Personally I find keeping them separate very convenient. |
