I've figured out why this doesn't work: The register module (and
perhaps a couple of others, I haven't looked) implements Cut, Copy,
and Paste via gtkselections.c, which in turn depends upon
gdkselection(-quartz).c. Unfortunately, gdkselection is an ICCCM
(i.e., X-Windows) specific protocol. It might be possible to
implement
in Cocoa, but it would be a lot of work.
It seems to me to be completely unnecessary for registers, where all
of the data are strings. Is there any good reason not to rewrite the
cut, copy, and paste functions to simply work the same as the main
window ones? (If they go away along with the menu-stuffing and
callbacks, will the gnc-main-window versions just magically take
over?)
IIRC (I may be mistaken) the register cut/copy/paste does full
transaction copying... But I might be misremembering.
Derek,
No, it doesn't seem to. One can't even select a whole transaction that
way, which I guess is why the Transaction menu has its own cut/copy/
paste functions (which work fine under Quartz, by the way).
Gtk_selection_* is used only in src/register/register-gnome/gnucash-
item-edit.c, and appears to be used only for operating on a single
element in a transaction or split.

John Ralls
