Attached is a patch which adds support for the -display and --display command line parameters to xwinclip.
Its my first attempt at C coding so I've got no idea if its good coding practice, it runs fine on my machine. It emits a warning when compiling about how I've declared a character array, not sure how to fix this, any suggestions??
Its diffed against xwinclip-20021229-2344.tar.bz2, not sure if its the correct diff format - never used that before either.
comments?
