Flight 5 bugs?

[ypapado at panteion.gr]

Hello again,

1. xserver-xorg-input-synaptics is already installed and evdev is in some
directory after a search I did. Is there something else I should try?
2. Shortcuts work out once in a while and some times the program proposes
an alternative ie Shift+insert instead of Ctrl+v for paste. Are you sure
this isn't a bug?
Thanks again for the help. It's nice feeling that there is somebody to
spend some of his time to help you.
