How about some "copy and paste" features between, e.g. an editor on Linux 
and Win-apps?  Would this be possible or is it even more complicated than 
the dead keys problem?  At the moment it works just for the first string.  
To me it seems, that the first copied string somehow remains in the 
Win-buffer or Win-clipboard and at every Paste this first string is being 
inserted.
