Oh my goodness, I just noticed I had this in my postpoed list and had not sent to the list. Hi George, First thanks for the great work with copy/paste. I was able to test it out and even copy a small image, fantastic. I have a suggestion for an improvement. Since the 8-bit does not work well with X11.app I used Xvnc and Screen Sharing to run those set of programs. I have some some scripts I use to sync-up the OS X paste board and the X11 selection which I have as menu items in my .twmrc: $ head bin/xpb bin/pbx ==> bin/xpb <== #!/bin/sh # X selection to Paste-buffer xsel -p | pbcopy ==> bin/pbx <== #!/bin/sh # Paste-buffer to X selection pbpaste | xsel -c That works a lot of the time but not for really big amounts of data and sometimes characters get messed-up. So I have to do things like cat into a file or /dev/null, use terminal.app as a go between, scp, etc - ie lots of anying workarounds in various cases. It would be really nice if pbproxy detected the un-presence of the AppleWM extentsion and still ran in the background. I am guessing it is only doing that for syncing-up with the preferences and handling the edit -> copy menu and keyboard shortcut. You would not need to worry about the first case and the second could be handled with a SIGUSR1 handler. Then people that don't use X11.app could have this great tool. I would simply put a killall -USR1 pbproxy in my .twmrc for example. Again thanks for all the very good and appreciated work. mzs On Thu, 25 Sep 2008, George Peter Staplin - georgeps@xmission.com wrote:
