[Xquartz-dev] new xpbproxy

[John Koren]

Jeremy,

I am using 2.3.2_beta1, which fixed some bugs related to
"-no-pasteboard", nevertheless I need to include the flag to avoid the
problem I brought up in this thread. My applewmproto is 1.1.

The file "/usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/99-quartz-wm.sh" also uses
"--no-pasteboard" when calling quartz-wm :

if [ -x /usr/X11/bin/xpbproxy ] ; then
       /usr/X11/bin/xpbproxy &
       [ -x /usr/bin/quartz-wm ] && exec /usr/bin/quartz-wm --no-pasteboard
else
       [ -x /usr/bin/quartz-wm ] && exec /usr/bin/quartz-wm
fi

Anyway, with the "--no-pasteboard" flag xpbproxy works very well. I am
a happy camper.

-John
