Is freebsd lagging in this? Or have I missed something? X11 by design uses lazy C&P, e.g. the first application says "I have something for the clipboard" and second application requests it, when needed. This means no copying happens at all, when nothing is requested. It obviously fails, when the first application dies in the mean time. This is a design choice. Joerg
