Well, it didn't work for me when I tried it - if you select text in one object, hit "copy", then select text in another intending to paste over it -- bingo, X does a new "copy". ouch.

I am looking at the copy/paste mechanism and I noticed that for some reason, on X11 (i.e. GNU/Linux), there is different code for getting the info to paste. There is this comment:
/* in X windows the selection already went to the clipboard when it was made; here we "copy" it to our ownbuffer as well, because, annoyingly, the clipboard will usually be destroyed by the time the user asks to "paste". */
On Win32 and Mac OS X, pd gets the text from Tcl/Tk using [clipboard get]. It would make things cleaner if everything used the same code. Is there any reason not to make X11 get the data from Tk, if possible?
