According to the faq: Updating the Package Descriptions In the past this was a bit tedious procedure; but in the current Fink versions, this is a very simple procedure.

Only one of them works with cutting and pasting from and to Aqua. Some applications, like xterm, use this one, some, like AbiWord, the other one. The autocutsel utility unifies the two cut buffers. You can see such a behavior sometimes even inside X11, for example on Solaris where you cannot cut&paste between xterm and mailtool (an openwindows application). I've hated this for years. So: Without autocutsel, cut&paste between Aqua and X11 works for some X11 clients, not for others. With autocutsel, it always works (famous last words :-)). -- Martin ___ Have big pipes?

Re: [Fink-beginners] Cut and Paste in X Windows
I haven't had problems cutting & pasting between Aqua and X Windows. In Aqua I use command-c and command-v to cut and paste. In X11 I use the mouse and select to copy and click the middle button to paste. (command-click is equivalent to the middle button on a 3 button mouse). I've had no problems doing a command-c to copy in aqua, and then a command-c in X11 to paste. But I admit I haven't used a ton of X11 apps. - Roger On Wed, 15 May 2002, Chia Hung wrote: > I don't think that one can copy and paste between Aqua and X Windows.

[Fink-beginners] Cut and paste in Pan or xchat
Hi All,
I've recently used Fink to install pan and xchat. Both are working quite
well, however, I don't seem to be able to copy/paste in them. At first, I
couldn't even copy paste in an xterm, but after looking though the archives
I found out that it works if I use rxvt. However, I haven't been able to
figure out why it doesn't work in the programs I listed. Both programs die
and give me this error when I try to paste into them:
Gdk-ERROR **: file gdkselection.c: line 331 (gdk_string_to_compound_text):
assertion failed: (property.encoding == gdk_atom_intern ("COMPOUND_TEXT",
FALSE) && property.form
at == 8)
aborting...
I am trying to paste by using command-click. Am I doing something wrong? Is
this perhaps a known weakness in the gdk port? I looked through the archives
but didn't find anything about this.
Thanks in advance!
