Huh. In my X experience (which includes neither KDE nor Gnome, but
does include CDE) I've never seen an X server capable of telling the
difference between tabs and spaces in cutting and pasting.

Are you sure RH 7.1 wasn't using a hacked up XF86?

If not, then the easiest thing to do is see how the heck the old
Gnome was wrapping X cut and paste (in the source, of course).
