RunRev Script Editor and Linux

[Richmond]

Now things begin to look distinctly odd as:

I installed glipper to keep track of clipboard stuff.

I am unable to select anything in the script editor  (RunRev 4.0 GNOME),

I am able to select with RunRev 2.2.1,

I am able to paste from RR 2.2.1. into AbiWord, gEdit, Open Office and 
MousePad

How much of this is owing to the presence of glipper I just don't know.

What does become clear with this 'little adventure' is that the problem
seems largely to lie with the 'new' script editor.
