Copy-paste didn't work between wine and Gnome, but everything else was without a hitch!
Doh! What exactly failed? Could you give me the exact steps to reproduce the problem?
Yes, please do! Let's get a bug filed about this.
There are quite a few copy and paste bugs in Wine, e.g. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633 http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2382 http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3486 http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4523 http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5061
I wonder if just getting copy and paste working well would be a sufficient summer of code project! Too bad submissions are closed. Ah, well, next year :-)
Good idea.. And then we can rewrite the keyboard code for SoC 2008! The clipboard is quite a bit tricky and AJ I think would be as picky about this as the opengl fixes and WM fixes that go in. Although I would still like to see the keyboard code get fixed soon, I don't think it is going to happen. Of course, I am starting school again this fall (changed majors so I need to start all over), so perhaps this time I can take some programming classes, and by the time that SoC 2008 rolls around I should be familiar enough to be able to understand the things that Peter Astrand was talking about before, and possibly code it myself.
