1) What did you try in ".Xresources"? Did you merge the new resource(s) via xrdb after setting it(them)? I use "XTerm*VT100.translations: #override <Btn1Up>: select-end(PRIMARY, CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER0)". 2) OT: I don't use XFCE but isn't xfce4-terminal its default terminal? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
