>In Linux, you have to worry about KDE programs vs GNOME programs having different clipboards, for example. I don't worry about this on linux because it's not the case. I suppose if I were on windows I would have to worry about legacy programs that only understand UCS-2 not being able to talk to modern programs that only understand UTF-8. >Its also why compatible suites of programs (ie: Adobe) can be so useful when those custom formats come into play. Adobe can copy/paste layers from Photoshop and send them over to other programs. If the photoshop layer isn't understood, it seems to become a Bitmap, which works when I'm on a VBulletin forum over in Firefox land. I'm able to paste images from GIMP, Krita, and Thunar into forums just fine.
