Hello,
Thanks for the reply Dominik.
Unfortunatey it is not just mozilla I can not use the middle mouse
button to paste to Gvim, glade, open office, gnome-terminal etc. I am
hoping it is a setting I am using. I did try unbind strokes to see if
that was the issue but the behavior was the same.


Here is the version information:
[pbharris_at_bugs ~]fvwm -version
fvwm 2.5.8 compiled on Nov 9 2003 at 02:04:45
with support for: ReadLine, Stroke, XPM, PNG, Shape, XShm, SM, Xinerama,
XRender, XFT, NLS
