      Original user synopsis: "mouse cut-and-paste missing in Swing text components"

      In normal AWT text components, you can select
      text with the left mouse button and paste into
      another X window with the middle button.
      You can't do this with
      Swing components, as far as I can tell. This is
      essential for X-window use.

      Note that this is not the same as using copy(),
      which copies to the X clipboard. So there's not
      even a workaround that I can figure out.

      But perhaps I'm missing something?
