Sorry for the lack of clarity. I cmd-c from the cocoa app, and neither
cmd-v nor ctrl-v (nor any other variants like option-v) work in
GnuCash. Furthermore, the Edit->Paste menu option is disabled.

Part of the problem is that I'm not even sure what to google for. I
guess that this isn't actually X11, but the Quartz WM (per my compile
options)? Does anyone know what subsystem this actually is? What's the
difference between this and X11? Is there a preferences pane for it
somewhere? What should I google for?

Thanks,
Ian
