That works so little percentage of the time for me that it's worthless
advice. Worse it seems to be utterly unpredictable when it will and
will not work.
Can you list a few things where the right-mouse/copy paste
functions don't work predictably?
X-Windows is one huge bug. I prefer consoles for Linux.
Real consoles are painful. Xterms (gnome-terminals, etc.)
give you everything you can do in a console plus more
of them and cut/paste between them - even when some of
the windows are remote machines.
