Only those that have child windows; I can only think of Rox Filer as one I  
use frequently.  For example, if I open a rename box inside a window, copy  
the name of a file, close the rename window, and paste the name into a  
message in Balsa, the name is pasted.  If I copied from a message in Balsa,  
closed the message window, and pasted to a window in Galeon, the text is  
NOT pasted.
