Bug 111303 Cannot middle-button paste to rxvt from Eclipse
Reported: 2005-10-02 13:37:51 | Status: resolved fixed

Some applications can only deal with XA_STRING when reading from the primary clipboard. Currently, Eclipse only privides UTF8_STRING and COMPOUND_TEXT results. A notable broken example is rxvt, another is xclip, and yet another is eterm. All of these applications only handle the STRING type for middle-button paste. The attached patch addresses this problem.
