I think it is fvwm but maybe I'm explaining wrong.

That application remaps the entire keyboard and mouse functions. So
inside the application, the Cut/Copy/Paste keys work fine. The
problem starts when I'm trying to Cut/Copy/Paste from outside (say,
from an Xterm) to that app.

In normal CDE, the Cut/Copy/Paste keys are mapped to osfCut, osfCopy
and osfPaste functions. So I select some text somewhere and hit the
Copy button, I can than go inside the app and hit the paste button
and it works fine.

When running fvww, those keys are not mapped to anything so of
course, it doesn't work.

And since the app remaps the entire keyboard layout and mouse
functions, the middle-mouse-button pasts function does NOT work.

Any ideas?
