I'm doing my best to use Red Hat 7.3 as my primary workstation OS now -
but I'm having some problems. 

1) Numero uno has to be the annoying clipboard issue.  I want to be able
to have a document open, copy some text out of it, and then paste it
into another completely seperate application or document with some
keyboard shortcuts which don't require me to still have the original
text open and hightlighted - and I hate using my mouse to do this,
especially having to hit 2 buttons at once.  Is there a way? If not, I
see that as being a MAJOR downfall for linux on the desktop. 

2) It's very annoying for me to have my monitor go blank after like 10
minutes of no usuage. I want my screen saver to show instead.  It does
this whether I'm just at a console or in linux.  What service is this
and how can I shut it off?
