Hi John, I will not send you further personal email. What i really meant was that i read in one of your announcements about clipboard integration not fully working with the 64bit X server. The reason why i came up with xwinclip is that i was under the (possibly wrong) impression that xwinclip reappeared as a consequence of this clipboard integration deficiency. So the real question is: Is it true that clipboard integration is not fully working with the 64bit X server and if so will this change in the foreseeable future?
