Re: X11 Selections

[Harold L Hunt II <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

I have successfully wrapped the dix layer's SetSelectionOwner function 
in InitInput.c (it seems this needs to happen only once per instance of 
XWin.exe, not per screen), and confirmed that I can print out a message 
from this function.

The next step is to make sure that I can retrieve the current selection 
contents within the X Server without a real client connection.  I 
believe that I already had code that could do this, but I will have to 
look around.  I have some new ideas for how to do this if I don't have 
old code around.

After these two steps are complete I will have to make sure that our 
protocol for changing ownership of the Win32 and X11 clipboards will not 
lead to any infinite looping, then I can go about implementing some 
simple copying and pasting routines.

Finally, I will have to adapt the xwinclip/-clipboard code that handles 
Unicode and MBCS strings to work with teh new system.

Looks exciting.  I might have something later tonight.
