I've poked at it a bit. Copy/paste is so funky on unix/linux with the 
selection clipboard and the other clipboard, that I think I should probably 
leave it alone.

First of all, Tellico basically copies the copy/paste code from 
kapplication.cpp. The reason I don't just call those functions is because I 
have the editor window. When the editor window is open, I want copy/paste 
to operate on the selected text in the editor, _not_ in the main window. So 
basically it checks to see if the dialog is open, then activates the 
appropriate widget.

Everything seems to work right when selecting in the editor dialog.

So maybe the specific detail is that you're selecting in the entry view, in 
the lower right? From what I can tell, the HTML doesn't have a copy() slot, 
so nothing happens when you ctrl-v, i.e. nothing gets dumped to the global 
clipboard, only to the selection.

Does that sound right?
