Umm... heh.  That's, um, curious.

I built a new version for you with MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4;  
hopefully it will run under Tiger, although you will probably need to  
make a symlink from /usr/X11 to /usr/X11R6.  If it doesn't work, let  
me know, and I'll reinstall Tiger.

So, _no_pasteboard takes out AppleWMPasteboardNotifyMask from the  
parameter to XAppleWMSelectInput.  It seemed like the easiest way to  
disable the feature, but apparently I was wrong?

So what exactly DOES it do? :/
