"Unfortunately"?

The only "unfortunately" I have with two copy/paste schemes are:

- When I am forced to use a Windows application, middle-click *never*
pastes :-(

- Certain Linux applications like OpenOffice seem to have buggy
implementations of middle-click, and sometimes fail to recognise when
you've copied something in another application. But only sometimes.
