Re: cannot copy clipboard to other applications

[PG <pgiraudo@univ-fcomte.fr>]

Yes indeed, 

(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)

makes the trick perfectly (I have even just copied the command above from my
.emacs file....)

The middle button solution cannot be used here: I am working on a laptop
with a touchpad and just 2 buttons.

Thanks to everybody,

Patrick
