I finally gave up on all the bloated wm's out there, and have settled on xmonad after a bit of research and playing around. I'm very happy with it. The machine is a fresh install of archlinux with xmonad started via .xinitrc. It seems like a very silly issue to me, but at the same time, it's fairly frustrating. I'm trying to copy text from one window to another via X's select/middle-click copy/paste. It seems to work fine when dealing with the same window, but when I highlight another window, it either does nothing (if I havn't tried it from that window yet) or it will paste from the same window. Surely there must be an easy way to handle this, but after a bit of research, I can't find anything. What's the easiest way of getting this to work?
