I'm not sure what the problem is. Can you please explain what problem you are seeing? You should have the exact same copy/paste behavior as with the Apple-provided X11.app...
Sorry, I just found the option I need to enable: "Emulate three mouse button". The problem was, that in the past I could press alt and click the mouse to insert text from clipboard into an xterm for example. Apparently this option was disabled and so alt-click had no effect. After enabling it, everything works fine.
Just one question, what does the pasteboard option in Preferences, which I disabled because of the CPU issue, provide for new features, if everything works like in the past?
It enables a much-improved pasteboard interaction between OSX and X11 including support for images. Tiger the old version of quartz-wm which handles the pasteboard interaction. This old version and can't be told to disable the pasteboard proxying support. Thus when you enable support for the new code in the server, the two come into conflict with eachother. On Leopard, quartz-wm knows that it should not do the pasteboard proxying when it sees a sufficiently new version of the server running. I'll see if I can put together a Tiger build of the new quartz-wm for you.
