Cannot paste text about garglk

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would also be useful if you could paste e.g. an entire transcript into 
Gargoyle
and have it queue every line as a separate input.

Fixed in r230.

I decided not to implement the Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V sequences.  Instead, selected 
text is
copied to the clipboard immediately.  Middle or right clicks paste the contents 
of
the clipboard.

Linux uses middle clicks for the selection buffer and right clicks for the 
explicit
copy buffer.  The distinction is not meaningful under Windows, so both buttons 
do the
same thing there.

Confirmed working under Ubuntu 8.04.  Thanks!

Any particular reason to not implement Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V?  As best I can tell, 
they're
not used for any other purpose, and it is a common idiom on both Windows and 
Linux.

There were some early considerations that argued for a simplified model that 
didn't
depend on keyboard input.  But performance considerations quickly made the
implementation more sophisticated.

As a practical matter there's no good reason at this point not to use Ctrl+C / 
Ctrl+V
instead of "release left button" and "click right button."  There are some 
related
bugs to fix, as the Glk window that has the focus isn't always obvious and isn't
always the one responding to key event. But those have to be fixed in any event.

I'll update the behavior before the next release.
