The X clipboard work is quite involved. You need to read and love: http://tronche.com/gui/x/icccm/sec-2.html#s-2 I've uploaded http://codereview.chromium.org/100145, which a scattering of some of the bits which I was building. None of it even compiles. Maybe take a look at the xclipboard.h file to an idea of the interface which I was aiming for. Evan made a good point that, in the short term, maybe we should terminate the clipboard calls on the UI thread. That should work outside the case of plugins which, given that we don't have plugins yet, doesn't seem so bad. Longer term, it would be nice to do this ourselves so that we didn't have to send the selection over IPC every time it changed. I think tomorrow I'll be working on something else. Probably Thursday too.
