[Xquartz-dev] New Idea for Copy and Paste...

[George Peter Staplin]

Hi,

After discussing the copy/paste issue with Jordan Hubbard a new idea  
was formed.

We can use the most recently set selection atom, instead of having 4  
menu items.  I think this sounds reasonable.

We can use XFixes to see which client most recently owned the  
selection, and thereby trigger an XConvertSelection request in pbproxy  
for the TARGETS list, and then respond accordingly...

How does that sound?

George
