copy/paste to/from X11/Aqua

[pedz]

I have Mac OS X 10.3.4 and Apple's X11 version 1. It appears as if that is the latest version.

If I run quartz-wm, I can copy and paste to and from X11 and Aqua (I bet my English teacher would snarl at THAT sentence.) To copy from X11, I have to select, then pick Copy under the Edit menu and then I can paste the text into any Aqua application.

But that feature seems to be limited to quartz-wm. I've tried motif running on my AIX machine and I have also tried sawfish running locally and neither one can copy from X11 to Aqua or from Aqua to X11.

There are other X11's out there via fink. But do they solve this fundamental problem? If not, then I'll just stick with what I have. Or... is it possible to maybe recompile sawfish to know about Apple's clipboard?

Thanks

I posted this same basic question to the sawfish mailing list. Someone replied that quartz-wm has a --only-proxy option. Here is the except from the man page:

--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 differ-
ent window manager may be used, but cut and paste will work as
if quartz-wm were running.

So I assume the gig is to run quartz-wm with --only-proxy and your favorite window manager at the same time.
