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.
