Seriously, I have been working on this for over a year and I would love to hear some of the ideas that people have because I am completely stumped on how to make such a clipboard manager work properly.You really want a server extension (or you could do it in the server, but that would prevent you from using existing client code to retrieve the clipboard contents ... a non-trivial task.)
Are you saying that I could write a server extension that only Cygwin/XFree86 uses and that such an extension would give me access to the internals that I need? Or, are you saying that there needs to be a new generic server extension that all clients need to support in order for us to play nicely with them?
See discussion from: https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/xdg-list/2002-November/000881.html The extension discussed there will *not* be part of XFree86-4.3, but is the right way of doing it and likely will make it in at some future point.
Very interesting. I will read up on that.
Of course. You'll notice in my first message that I did not make such an observeration. I got precisely 0 responses. This time I made that observation and I have gotten 2 extremely helpful replies. Sounds like your hint doesn't hold up :) You also have to understand that over the past two years, or so, I have probably written 8 new emails to this mailing list, of which 4 or more were completely ignored. That doesn't really seem very polite to me, since I only write to this mailing list after I have spent several months searching for an answer on my own. So yeah, you could call me frustrated :)It would be nice if someone responded this time...[ Hint, demanding a response is a really good way to discourage people from responding ]
Thanks again for your response,
Harold Hunt
