I think this is a problem with mozilla (1.4 here). I can confirm
the problem, but evidence suggests that it is indeed mozilla which
sometimes does not copy the selected text to the clipboard. It
always works if I select Edit->Copy from mozilla's menu (or press
Ctrl-C). Furthermore, when it fails to work, pasting always
inserts the previous selection, so I know that pasting does work.
I don't see how fvwm could prevent mozilla from copying the
selected text to the clipboard.
