Aaah, did not know that... I guess that multiple X servers come into play with two graphics cards then?

Ok, tried both and they both worked a couple times at first and then the paste stopped working again... I can 
see the text I copied in those
applications but they are just not there when I try to paste on the other screen... (btw, it is the same when 
I try to paste something into Evolution
from the other screen).

btw, I am using Nvidia drivers version 352.21-2 (it that's of any interest...)
