cmd-v should never work. There's no way to use it in X11.app, and it's not an option in the edit menu.
What I meant was that normally to copy text from, e.g. xterm or rxvt, to a MacOS application, e.g. Word, one would do command-c in xterm and command-v in Word. This did not seem work when xpbproxy was running, but now it does. In my X11.app I have all check marks related to pasteboard turned on. Since I have my own .xinitrc, I added the following to it: exec /usr/X11/bin/xpbproxy & exec /usr/bin/quartz-wm This results in a error message " A clipboard manager is already running. pbproxy will not sync clipboard to pasteboard." being written in the system log. I then tried: xec /usr/X11/bin/xpbproxy & exec /usr/bin/quartz-wm --no-pasteboard which, got rid of the message but copy/paste does not work as I would expect it. What I was expecting that selecting the text in rxvt would automaticly copy the text to the pasteboard so I could paste it in Word. This does not happen. -John
Check X11's preferences to make sure you have clipboard settings enabled. Check 'ps x' to see if xpbproxy is even running.

Hi, I don't now if I am doing something wrong but copy/paste does not work for me on my G4 laptop. I tried it both with and without xpbproxy. With xpbproxy running, even command-v and command-c don't work. -John _______________________________________________ Xquartz-dev mailing list Xquartz-dev@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/xquartz-dev
