A year or two ago, before this crazy Leopard thing turned X11 on its head,
there was a thread about how when you push COMMAND-C when text is selected
in an X11 app, whatever would have been copied to the standard
middle-click-to-paste X11 clipboard should be copied to the MacOS clipboard
for pasting into apps outside of X11.
The basic issue is that currently, the text has to remain selected in X11
when you PASTE the text into a non-X11 app. This is inconsistent with other
Mac behavior (when you hit copy, it copies and you can paste whenever unless
you copy something else) and other X11 behavior (when you select something,
it is copied, and if deselected, you can still paste it until you select
something else).
Is there a timeframe on this? It consistently frustrates me.
