Does somebody familiar with building 0.46(+devel) on Tiger know if the new system clipboard support works with Apples 'X11 v. 1.1.3 - XFree86 4.4.0'?
g2010a has offered to contribute Tiger builds and reports issues with copy&paste: vector objects copied to the clipboard are pasted as bitmaps, within the same document as well as between two document windows.
Is that not related to the changes in XQuartz (XQuartz changes make it to the official X11 from apple at some point). The "Pasteboard" preferences of X11 need to be altered: deselect "Update Pasteboard when clipboard changes" select the next two deselect the last one
that happens only with the latest releases of XQuartz (those with the 'enhanced' clipboard syncing features) - but on Tiger, the last update for X11 is from 2006 (by Apple), and newer versions are only available via macports (not as precompiled packages).
g2010a says he is using the X11 version that shipped with 10.4. There are no options in the preferences regarding the clipboard.
I'm not familiar with Tiger - is copying of text or bitmaps between X11 (xterm, NEdit, Inkscape 0.46, GIMP...) and native OS X applications in general possible?
