1) which X server are you using (there's 3 I know of on OSX, XFree, Apples X11 which is a quartz level port of XFree and tenon has their own) and 2) define "X11 window". If you're using Apple's X11 and say, openoffice you use ctrl-c,v,x etc in openoffice app and cmd-c,v,x etc in os x windows.

Now, the exception is Xterm which don't copy as far as I can tell, but why are you using Xterm when you have a much better terminal emulator written in cocoa (Terminal.app) that copies and pastes just fine?

And what with the tip that Lorin posted (which came in while I was typing this) I think it's ignorant to call it a 'Hippy OS' when it's clear that you can hack it all you want on the command line because it's BSD. Is BSD a 'hippy OS' (and by extension Solaris and other derivatives)? Or does it just have to be not windows to be hippy?

As an aside, we've got a Mac/MacOS X list on gaffle if anybody is interested called Mac10. That way you can ask unixy mac questions in a more focused and informed forum.

tack

I have an OS X 10.3 laptop running X11 and cannot cut and paste from
an X11 window to an non X11 window or even to another X11 window.

I've googled a bit and it looks like a known bug, but Erik tells me
you guys will likely have a work-around or fix.
