CLIPBOARD vs SELECTION
This is because in X there are two independent methods of copy/paste, which can be referred to as using either the CLIPBOARD or the SELECTION. Using quartz-wm --only-proxy synchronizes the OS X clipboard with the X CLIPBOARD. The data located there may be pasted by an X application using the paste command (typically ctrl-v). Using the copy command in an X application (typically ctrl-c) also copies the desired data into the CLIPBOARD. When data is selected in X it is preserved in the SELECTION (any may also be copied into the CLIPBOARD using ctrl-c). Whatever is in the SELECTION may be pasted using the middle-mouse button. The middle-mouse button only pastes what is in SELECTION and not what is in the CLIPBOARD. This is why when you copy something into the OS X clipboard you cannot ordinarily paste it into an X application using the middle mouse button. Most desktop environments in X (eg KDE or Gnome) and some window managers (but not quartz-wm) will allow you to also synchronize the SELECTION and CLIPBOARD, allowing you to use the middle mouse button to paste what is in the CLIPBOARD (or use ctrl-v to paste the SELECTION).
CLIPBOARD vs SELECTION
I can understand that, but originally I also couldn't Paste into Konsole using the Paste item of the right-click context menu, which should have used CLIPBOARD. Xclipboard fixes that, but I don't know why it didn't work originally. |
