Re: copy and paste between X11 and native apps



I'm not sure what you mean. Once you copy something to the clipboard from X, whatever is the current selection should still be the PRIMARY selection. [X]Emacs might clear the PRIMARY buffer, but that's an [X]Emacs thing. In any GTK or QT application that uses the clipboard, the X selection still works (as far as I know). If you use the clipboard, you may have to re-select the text to re-set the PRIMARY selection, but if you are placing it into two different places (clipboard and selection), then it makes sense that you might have to do it twice. :-)

The problem is that once you have used the "real" clipboard, the "unreal" (select-to-copy) clipboard stops working. That's the bug we're complaining about. Xemacs basically screws the rest of the X11 universe up. :-)
To me, this is a long-standing bug that has improved a bit, in that I now know how to work around it, but it still sucks to have to copy/paste multiple times to get it to work.
