Yes, this can be done using a program called "xcutsel".
You would start it like this:
$ xcutsel -sel CLIPBOARD &
When you select some text in xterm or copy in emacs, the text is stored in
XA_CUT_BUFFER0 (see Xatom.h)
xcutsel provides for transfers between the cut buffer and the CLIPBOARD
The CLIPBOARD seems to be default for swing (i tested JTextArea) and is the one
returned by AWT using Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit.getSystemClipboard. But AWT (I
have only tested TextArea) seems to use the cutbuffer.
You can watch things in the CLIPBOARD with xclipboard.
Interestingly Netscape 4.06 supports both the cutbuffer and the CLIPBOARD. So
there must be a better way...
