Imaging such a case: to use your mouse to select some texts in
Netscape window, then point the mouse to a xterm window and
double-click it, the selected texts are to be pasted. who handles
such kind of pasting operation?

I know there is definitely a mechnism to enable such kind of
selection/copy/paste BETWEEN X applications, just like in
Win 95/NT or DEC Unix.

How has it been implemented in FVWM, or in Linux X11 according
to you?

Thx.
