Hi John,

You can start quartz-wm with the option --only-proxy which will let you use another window manager, but the cut and paste is handled by quartz-wm. Just add the following line to .xinitrc before you start you window environment:

quartz-wm --only-proxy &

HTH,

Before upgrading to 10.3, I used Xfree86 with fvwm2 window manager, all build under fink.
After upgrading to Panther, I use fink 0.16.2 and Apple's X11.
When using fvwm, I cannot cut/paste out of in/out of Apple's X11 to other Mac applications, like Thunderbird.
However, when using quartz-wm, I can cut/paste between X11 and other Mac apps.


Is there a way to use fvwm2 that will bring back cut/paste, or am I missing something from my install?

Thanks in advance for any help.

John
