OK, I just added copy and paste for simple RTF text (The term rich text is a bit ambiguous for clipbpard formats) and TIFF images to the xpbs server. Please give it a try. For me it doesn't work that well with OpenOffice, but AbiWord seems to be fine. The whole X11 clipboard handling is somewhat broken, for example the only reliable way to find out what formats are currently available would be to poll the clipboard. Looks like we have to wait for a better clipboard standard :-( Fred _______________________________________________ Etoile-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-discuss
