Thunderbird + gnome-terminal cut'n'paste problem
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

I have a problem with Thunderbird 0.80 (AFAIK, the newest) and
gnome-terminal. If I copy text in the mail window (with Ctrl-C), I can't
paste the text to gnome-terminal (middle-click, Shift-Ctrl-V,
Shift-Insert, all to no avail). However, if I copy the text from
Thunderbird, paste it to the address bar of Firefox, copy that, and then
paste to gnome-terminal, it works. Seems like a problem in Thunderbird's
~ handling of the X11 clipboard.

Anyone else seeing this? I tried searching bugzilla.mozilla.org, but no
hits (figures). I'm a newbie with gentoo, and I'm hoping this is just a
local USE-flags problem or whatever, and not a bug in Thunderbird.

Relevant parts of make.conf
- -----
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
USE="gnome gtk gtk2 gphoto2 -kde -qt ssl mmx -arts -mysql"

Hmm, just noticed it works the other way around ;) (from
gnome-terminal to Thunderbird)

emerge -s output:

Actually, it seems that this only affects the copying of text from news
(NNTP) windows. Regular inbox handling seems to be ok.
