"XPaste puts the text contained in the X Windows clipboard to a new text buffer

Usage:

Add the script to your blender/scripts directory
Run this script from the Scripts window, Scripts->Misc->XPaste
Click the paste button to update the text buffer (Defaults to: ###PASTE###)
with the contents of the X Windows clipboard.

Note: xclip is required to run this script - get it here
http://people.debian.org/~kims/xclip/
Currently looks for xclip in the same location as blender
You can set the full path to xclip below if you install it elsewhere.
