Use quarzt-wm --only-proxy

You can also run "quartz-wm" in proxy mode by adding quartz-wm --only-proxy & to your .xinitrc file.

Here's the excerpt from man quartz-wm:

--only-proxy
This option indicates that the program should not attempt to manage any of the display's screens. However the selection proxying features will still be enabled, meaning that a different window man- ager may be used, but cut and paste will work as if quartz-wm were running.
Then you copy by just selecting text in an X11 app and paste by Option-Clicking (middle mouse button). I'm using Apple's X11.

SOLD!!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

You just made my day!!! I had no idea about the proxy stuff - just tried it and it works.

Thank you thank you thank you.

I recommend you post that as a hint in itself, if nothing else get in touch with Sao in the forums and let him drop it into the X11 FAQ.
