Thanks but this does not work
for me. I have even tried using the edit
menu, type "bt", highlight the text, edit->copy, switch to the other
app, paste. The copy action within ddd doesn't affect the clipboard for
some reason. I noticed that I can copy and paste with in ddd it self,
but that doesn't help me get info out of ddd.

Hi
excuse me if this is a stupid question. I can't seem to figure out
how to copy a backtrace from ddd to the clipboard. I have to do this
often when reporting bugs or asking advise from other developers. Am I
missing something obvious?
Type "bt". Mark the text with the mouse pointer. Paste it into your app.
There's no need to Ctrl-C to "copy"; whenever text is selected, it's
copied.
This is standard for the Motif (Xm) and Athena (Xaw) widget-sets.
This definitely does work. I suspect that you have some app which
is grabbing the selection. I use DDD in gnome, KDE, and CDE.
None of these environments has problems copying text and pasting
it into vim running in an xterm. I do it all the time.
Andrew
I am using KDE, typically I want to paste into an email client, however
I just gave a copy-paste from ddd into vi a try and it didn't work. So,
this is clearly either a ddd bug or some other issue, its not me being
stupid and not doing it right. Thanks for the clarification.
