Hmm.  How odd.

I just rebooted the machine beside me into stock WBEL, and after I 
logged into that odd 'X' thingy I was able to paste a URL from a term 
window into Mozilla, into email, into a forum (http://starsonata.com, 
the SNL of MMOGs) or into a blogger blog.

But hey, I was just using the little bit of X that I learned in between 
attempts to avoid X, so I may have been doing it wrong or a way that 
you're not.  My method involved the paste button on my mouse, something 
I used to use a lot in the Sun days (which was never on a Sunday).  Is 
the Paste button on your mouse working?  Never right-clicked in X, myself.

Now, this kinda talk just turns people off.  I mean, what's the 
possessive adjective modifying?

You know, if that's what you're suggesting then maybe switching to a 
paid distro would be a good idea.  You sound terribly stressed at this 
latest problem that you're willing to up and switch distros.  Some folks 
really dig the support that the paid-for stuff has, and you may find it 
just what you need as well.

Switch to SuSE and please, do send daily updates as to your experience; 
I'm looking for a fresh perspective on that non-free distro.

Don't fear the colon.  (sorry BOC)

Here, let us help you first:  I can load a shotgun with the rest of 
them, and I really gotta see this.
