New issue 447 by t... at timsears.com: installation breaks copy/paste feature  
of vmware-tools
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=447

Any idea why installing xmonad would break the copy/paste function of  
vmware?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Running Ubuntu 10.10 under VMware Fusion under macosx 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
2. apt-get install xmonad
3. Try and copy/paste from the mac into a terminal window on Ubuntu.  
Doesn't matter if xmonad is running or if the session has been restarted.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Ubuntu loses track of the copy/paste buffer.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
see above.

Are you using an xmonad.hs?  Please attach it and the output of "xmonad
--recompile".

no

Please provide any additional information below.

The system is repaired by running
"apt-get uninstall xmonad"
This only uninstalls the xmonad package not it dependencies.
