Ok, lets compare our tests:

Basic copy and paste of Latin 1 seems to work for both of us between the 
applications that support it. For some old applications only middle 
mouse paste works, as they only use Clipboard. Setting GSOldClipboard to 
Yes should return the old functionality here, breaking middle mouse 
operation. BTW I never did get any reply on this suggestion from Kazu, 
does this mean it works for him as well? It is so easy to give negative 
feedback, but people tend to forget about the positive one.


Copying of general unicode seems to work for me from OpenOffice to Ink. 
But my GNUstep fonts are not able to display the copied characters 
correctly. So looking at the Ink document I get the impression that the 
characters have been changed. Saving the text in an RTF file reveals 
that everything is all right.

Copying this formatted text back from Ink to OpenOffice works as well 
and gives the expected results in OpenOffice.

All of this tested with GSOldClipboard as No and in an KDE 3.1 
envrionment, which may of course lead to wrong results, as KDE has its 
own pasteboard background process.

I will retest with Gnome and WindowMaker next.
