Clipboard support in xpra would be awesome. I am not sure how to answer your questions with the information available :-). I sketched out some clipboard functionality at one point, but got stuck when I realized I couldn't, using gtk.Clipboard, easily handle TARGETS conversion requests in my own code... but I'm not sure if that's the problem you refer to or not. gtk.Clipboard does provide notifications when the selection owner changes... And since I don't know what you're doing, I have no guesses at all on why it would be slow :-). But it seems extremely unlikely that adding threads would help. Can you give more details? Maybe in the form of code? -- Nathaniel _______________________________________________ Parti-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.partiwm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/parti-discuss
