NO i won't do that why ?

Because it arroses two times , i tell you :

the first time this prob aroses, i've made what you have writen above
even more :

- backup everything into a firewire disk
- backup personal datas to my .Mac account
- erase my main hard disk setting all the datas to zero.
- reinstall from scratch Mac OS X + Dev Tools + Java + Updates

(one half day time)

then i said : "why not looking on file perms using disk utility ?"

you can't believe it BUT it is true with this clean-fresh-and-new
install done ONLY with package coming from Apple, disk utility reported
me a bunch of faulty perms/owner, the file size (still on my desktop)
speaks by itself :

**** 14.7 MB ****

that was last saturday the 18th.

then on monday i continue to work on my box, i had to finished the
faulty AppleScript (nothing to do with ruby here), my mistake was to use
a reserved word "count" as index...

obviously i didn't make the same mistake two times )))

but cut'n and paste desapeared a second time last monday eve'

that's the reason why i don't want to wipe my actual account, build
another etc...

i do agree it would be the shortest solution to cure that really odd
prob.

BUT, if i do that, i don't learn what is the exact cause of the prob and
what is the file causing such a bad behaviour.

then for the time being, i use my box as it is and, from time to time i
look for solving this prob, in hope i could find the faulty file and/or
setup...
