That is useful to know. So does anyone know how to copy to the "real" X
clipboard from an xterm?
Using X11.app's Edit->Copy menu usually works for me. What doesn't work
is the keyboard shortcut cmd-C that is supposed to be equivalent to this
menu entry.
But this may be related to a more general bug in keyboard shortcuts for
menus on OSX: For me, user-defined keyboard shortcuts only work when the
corresponding menu has been opened at least once. And this works also in
X11.app: Click on the Edit menu title so that the menu drops down. Then
hit cmd-C and it works. After this, cmd-C works until you shift the
focus to some other application (which, unfortunately, is likely to
happen if you copy things into some non-X11 window). So in a sense cmd-C
in X11.app works (or rather doesn't work) like a user-defined keyboard
shortcut in other applications.
