[Xquartz-dev] new xpbproxy

This is a slight bugfix and feature addition for xpbproxy.  Just  
download, decompress, and replace /usr/X11/bin/xpbproxy with this one  
(you need 2.3.2_beta1 first).

Fixes/new features:

1) The "Update pasteboard immediately" option in the preferences pane  
is now implemented.  You can now automatically copy something when you  
select it.  Note however that there is a small caveat to this.  We  
have *NO* way of knowing that you have selected new text in an  
application.  If you select some text in an app then select new text  
in that app and you're left with the original text in the pasteboard,  
there's absolutely nothing whatsoever that we can do to fix this.  Try  
prodding the developer of that application to re-acquire the PRIMARY  
buffer on selection even if they already have it.  GTK, QT, and other  
toolkits do this already, but there may be some rogue apps out there.

2) CLIPBOARD->Pasteboard should now be working properly.  We were  
incorrectly detecting that a CLIPBOARD_MANAGER was already running  
(thus disabling this feature) when it really wasn't.  My bad.

Known issues:
* Some image conversion / unrecognized mime types may still exist.  If  
you can't copy an image of a specific format from OSX to X11 or visa  
versa, please file a bug in our trac with the image attached.
* nedit's copied text doesn't end up in the Pasteboard even though it  
can be pasted to other X11 apps from CLIPBOARD (workaround is cmd-c)
* MULTIPLE not supported yet
* CUT_BUFFER* not supported yet
