I can deal with it as long as you are aware of the issue. Okay.

My "complain" should be read as more of a "I am already aware of this problem, so it doesn't have to be mentiond" and it was really written for other readers, not for you. I don't think you are complaining :) It is just that if others see this in the future, I don't want them saying "me too" if they notice this problem. > OS: Windows XP > > Language: English > > Win32->X11 Copy and Paste: Worked > > X11->Win32 Copy and Paste: Worked > > Xdmcp: Did Not Try Thanks for testing!
