Brent confessed recently that he had tried to subvert the X model(s) of copy and paste. Not in those words... but that was how I read it. ;) I have a lot of trouble copying and pasting from or to exmh across a VNC link (from things in the vncviewer to things not in it and vice versa). As long as I stick to apps being "normally" displayed on my X server I don't have much of a problem. My recollection from my X programming days is that the X model, like everything in X, is more complex than the human brain can handle. It also is very different from the MS-Windows model. And I get the feeling that Tk tries to "unify" those two models and fails. Not sure what the exmh-specific contribution to the confusion is, frankly. --Hal _______________________________________________ Exmh-users mailing list Exmh-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/exmh-users
