Could anyone explain me something : X does not remember the content of the
selection, only the source. But why can't command line software like xsel or
xclip output the content of the CLIPBOARD selection if it is binary ? see this :
a) select some text ("clipboard" for example), then CTRL-C :
xsel : clipboard
xsel -b : clipboard
b) right-click on an image in firefox for example the launchpad logo at the top
of this page and CTRL-C :
xsel : [nothing]
xsel -b : [nothing]
what the heck ? what is xsel for if it only handles text? From the Lenny
package description : "XSel is a command-line program for getting and
setting the contents of the X selection.". It does not specify "text
only".
Do firefox and gimp and openoffice and opera and [put your software
here] use Xselection when copy/pasting images (or binary data) ?
