Is there a way to disable the PRIMARY clipboard ? Would a patch like that http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-06/msg00148.html (with a command line option) be accepted ?

It's far more likely to be accepted if you say what problem you are trying to solve and why a patch like that is the right solution.


We use nx to display X application hosted on a Linux servers. Clients could be on Linux, Windows or MacOS. The PRIMARY clipboard really confuse windows (and MacOS) users. An option (XWin.exe -no-primary-clipboard) would really be great for that.

You haven't really answered my question. So far I understand users working in some way involving nx get confused trying to do something with the clipboard because something happens and making something diferent happen will not confuse them.


Note that patch also needs to exist to be accepted.
