Very good point. The two servers window managers seem to maintain two separate clipboards. You can copy and paste within the browser (using "clipboard-manager"), and you can copy and paste outside (using "klipper"), but the two clipboards are separate.

I'm going to do a bit of research, see if I can find a way to get them to share a clipboard. That's a fairly important thing...

EDIT: Looks like you'd have to write some kind of hack to get the clipboards to talk. That's too bad.

EDIT2: How about something like this? [Shared Clipboard Utility] It's python, so it should work on the tablets... I'll see... Hmm. Only for Windows and Mac...

Adding Linux Support: It makes a lot of sense to extend the program to support Linux for pure Linux users. To do so will require supporting at least GNOME and KDE, the most popular Linux windows managers. You can access Gnome's clipboard using pygtk and KDE's clipboard using pyqt. Another option is to require that the target machines have xsel or xclip, which work very much like pbcopy/pbpaste and implement Linux clipboard support on top of those.
EDIT3: Can anyone using a GTK WM (like XFCE4) tell us if the clipboard works? Theoretically, it should.
