That's the whole point though, the fact that it is configurable. Incidentally,
my favourite related disaster is having a large region of text in the paste
buffer, then accidentally hitting the right mouse button in another window
(for non Unixy types, this means that the contents of the first window end
up getting sent to the second window as commands). For a real bit of fun be
logged in as root when you do it. Try it with your boss standing behind you
:-)
