I took the time to see what I could come up with.
I'm not much of an X11 programmer as I've said in the past, but
I'm getting better...
Here is a quick (2 full days
) implementation of the linuxclipboard to use with the os namespace possibly for getClipboardText();
If anyone has any better ideas let me know... This is just for pasting
to the clipboard...
In order to use this the function PlatformSpecificRun() has to be run
somewhere in a loop so that when other applications request
the clipboard data, the program with this code can give it to them.
I used globals here because I did not find a good way to do it without,
but if anyone has any good ideas, maybe they don't have to be global.
Enjoy!
