  | I'm not actually a passionate supporter of Windows.
  | In fact I seem to be the only person in the world
  | who finds it more difficult to use than Linux.

 Windross-is-difficult is both trivial and the norm.
 I find Windross IMPOSSIBLE to use.
 NOTHING behaves in a sensible fashion.

 except for the damage it would do the the whales
 offshore, I would have no objection if the world's
 entire nuclear weapons arsenal were disposed of on
 Redmond.  explosively.  (one very encouraging thing
 about N.Korea maybe having a few warheads and some
 missiles is Redmond is within range.)

 incidentally, my solution to the X11 drag-and-paste
 confusion is simple:  "drag, and middle button to
 paste.“  end of story.  that's all I do.  I don't
 worry about Primary, Secondary, or Clipboard; all
 I do is drag, and middle-button paste.  this has
 worked fine for >10 years, X11v4, v5, v6, vtwm,
 KDE, Gnome, Enlightenment, etc, etc.  simple.

cheers!
