Cut and paste certainly is confusing. I spent a few minutes sorting 
through the current state of affairs, but I didn't get far.

For anyone who wants to look into it, a good starting point seems to be:

   http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/ClipboardsWiki

I think this is the behavior TeXmacs should aim at as well. Does the 
current code already try to implement this standard? In that case, it 
seems to be buggy in some details, but it is hard to sort through the 
strange behavior in various situations, interacting with various other 
clients...

Greetings,
Norbert
