I have a similar problem. I seem to be able to use the "Ctrl-C" method
(also "Edit->Copy") with Mozilla, but nothing else. If I select text
with the mouse, the only app I've been able to middle-click paste into
is gVim (from which I can then do standard X pasting everywhere else).
Hence, I use this as a workaround whenever using OO.o.
