I did not follow the thread- just saw the burst of messages and thought
it went off topic :) However, what is the source of the incompatibility?

You could try using xclip and find out if your stuff is on the right clipboard
if that is a problem. I've had odd problems sometimes but most of the time that
works. You can put stuff from the command line onto a clipboard and
see who can read it and also see what others put there. 

I use xclip  for getting links from browser into scripts.
