This is a Tk issue, lyntin actually tries pretty hard to move events
from anywhere and recreate them in the input box.  For instance if you
put the focus on the output window and type it duplicates the keypress
event to the input box and then moves the focus there.
If you can figure out what kind of event Tk calls a paste it can be
added to the list of things that are kludged into the input box.

This is just something Tk doesn't do well by itself, so lyntin tries
to work around it.
