Comment 1 Richard Kinder 2004-04-26 00:51:20 UTC 
The right-click context menu on the desktop works (for cut/copy and paste) just
not the CTRL-XCV keys. Is this by design or is it a bug?
Comment 2 Martin Wehner 2004-05-17 01:09:58 UTC 
It's a bug; all keybindings on the desktop stopped working in 2.6.x due to some
changes in gtk+.
