Mac OS X cut and paste

[Perry Smith <pedz easesoftware net>]

Hi,

I am currently running Mac OS X 10.3.4 with their X11 version 1.0.  I 
pulled down a recompiled version of sawfish from fink.  It is version 
1.1-26.  I am currently pulling down and compiling from fink sawfish 
1.3-17.

My question is about cut and paste from an X11 window to a native Mac 
application.  If I use Apple's quartz-wm, the process of cutting from 
X11 and pasting to a native application is to select the text using 
normal X11 mouse techniques, then pick Cut from the edit menu of 
Apple's X11 application.  At that point I can paste the text into any 
native Mac window using Comnand-V.  To go the other direction is even 
simpler.  I simply cut (or copy) using Command-C and then paste into 
the X11 with the normal technique (^Y for emacs, button 2 for xterm, 
etc)

If I kill quartz-wm and start up sawfish, I can no longer to this.  I 
also tried mwm running from an AIX platform and it had the same 
problem.

Before posting this note, I looked to see if this was mentioned 
anywhere -- perhaps, I thought, sawfish 1.3 has already solved this 
problem but I could not find any reference to it.

So I was just checking the email list to see if this topic has come up 
before.  Is anyone working on this?  Is it a solvable problem? etc.

Thanks,
Perry
