I'm having trouble using "xselection", one of the contributed x clients, to set the CLIPBOARD selection, to xview's satisfaction. For example I run "xselection CLIPBOARD test", to make "test" the shelf selection. The Sun OW2 file manager, clipboard is happy with it, at least "test" shows up in its clipboard. If I write my own trivial xview client "test" comes back properly from "selection_ask", and looks no different then what comes back from a OW copy. However, if I try and paste it into a text window, only the first letter "t" shows up. Worse yet, if I try to paste into a panel text item, the client dies with a segment error. Any ideas what the problem is. -- Ken Mandelberg | km@mathcs.emory.edu PREFERRED Emory University | {rutgers,gatech}!emory!km UUCP Dept of Math and CS | km@emory.bitnet NON-DOMAIN BITNET Atlanta, GA 30322 | Phone: Voice (404) 727-7963, FAX 727-5611
