I have a small change request: Add the line
_proxied_selection = x_atom_clipboard;
to the code of x_active.
That way, selecting Edit -> Copy will not turn off automatic copying
of the clipboard to the pasteboard forever, as it does now. And I
think it's a safe place to put it: It will not interfere with the
usual operation of Edit -> Copy.
If you have a little more time on your hands, I may suggest adding a
hidden option, to be activated by something like
defaults write org.x.x11 ignore_clipboard 1
which, if set, will do two things:
1. quartz-wm never claims the clipboard resource (in x_active), and
2. quartz-wm will never automatically copy the clipboard to the
pasteboard (in x_inactive).
This option should be good for those who only do traditional
cut-and-paste in X11 using the primary selection (select, then paste
with the middle mouse button).
For now, this is for people to play with and report back what they
think. Is it too much trouble to compile an experimental quartz-wm and
put the binary where we can get at it?
