After installing 10.3, I was hoping that a simple recompile of the fink window managers against the Xcode x11-dev package & Xcode gcc would be sufficient for them to work decently. I was wrong. In 10.2 I was using Xdarwin, but I'm using Apple's X11 package at this moment. I tried to re-compile fluxbox 0.1.10-2 and blackbox 0.65.0-1 fink packages (and blackbox-0.65.0 and fluxbox 0.1.14 directly from source). Both packages seem to work (load), but cut and paste functionality is totally broken. Another issue is that the toolbar for both packages (if location is set to TopCenter) is displayed under the Apple menu bar - thus making it impossible to use. The only window manager I've tried that cut and paste actually work is with apple's quartz-wm. Since I rely on cut and paste so much, I am using quartz-wm till I can figure out what the problem is. I'm not sure if this is an issue with Apple's X11 or if this is something that needs to be patched in the specific window managers. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. I'm willing to recompile whatever if you think it will fix the issue.
If you're not using quartz-wm, you should install autocutsel, it provides similar functionality of sync'ing the clipboards.
If you don't, then cut-and-paste works like it does in traditional X11, and there's basically no synchronization with the apple side of things.
