[surf] clipboard vs. primary

[Peter John Hartman]

Hi,

I find that Firefox and perhaps others like to "paste" from the CLIPBOARD
rather than PRIMARY. Hence, in clipboard() in surf.c I have to duplicate
the following line (replacing PRIMARY with CLIPBOARD):

gtk_clipboard_set_text(gtk_clipboard_get(GDK_SELECTION_PRIMARY), c->linkhover ? c->linkhover : geturi(c), -1)

I'd like to see if we can just add this to vanilla? Is there a reason not
(other than the extra line of code)?

I've always thought there was something wrong with pasting in Firefox,
maybe this is the reason. I'm not really using surf so I don't know
what the problem is, care to explain?

Hi,

Here's a patch that fixes what I think is a "problem". Others might
disagree. This allows me to paste into firefox the urls which I "yank" in
surf.
