Hello. I noticed that in X, I can cut & paste _within_ an app, or at best, from Nedit to Mozilla/Netscape- but no other apps (that I can recall, ATM). I was looking thru one bin/ directory the other day and noticed there are two utils, wxcopy & wxpaste, which are supposed to, from what I got out of reading the man page, copy text from files into the cutbuffers (clipboard) and then back out again. They don't seem to work correctly- nothing happens. With certain apps I can see text in the "xclipboard" util, but I can't get it back out again to paste it into another application. Then in /etc/X11/xserver, I saw a file "SecurityPolicy", with options such as:
property CUTBUFFER0 root irw property CUTBUFFER1 root irw property CUTBUFFER2 root irw .... .... ... ... property CUTBUFFER(x) root irw (as in numbered 1 thru x, maybe 6 or 7 of them in total). This is only mentioned in the "SecurityPolicy" file, and nowhere in the regular XFree Config file. The comment next to it suggested that the option was disabled for security reasons, because, as it stated "may give away too much info". Is this what I'm thinking it is, e.g. the way to re-enable the cutbuffers/clipboards to work? If so, why did Mozilla's + Nedit's work, when all others didn't ? I checked up in /usr/lib/X11/doc, but the documentation there didn't have the answer I was looking for, or I didn't find it in my searching.... Can anyone help me unravel the mystery of the CUTBUFFER[0-x]'s, or at least point me in the right direction? Cut & pasting between apps sure would be helpful, and I hate to mess with config files without knowing what I'm doing 100%.
