In any case, the relevant information does not percolate up from the sqUnixX11.c API to allow the sqUnixExtendedClipboard.c API to pass the desired information up to Squeak.

<blockquote type="cite">As
John said it doesn't appear to exist for Linux. But X11 has a
clipboard and implementing the innards for X11 shouldn't be that
difficult. The only complication is that if one wants to do the
job "properly" one has to extend the indirection scheme Ian
Piumarta came up with so that it can work on the other graphical
back-ends such as the raw frame buffer. Hillaire, if you're
interested in implementing the X11 ExtendedClipboard internals I'm
happy to answer any questions you have.</blockquote>
