Severity: wishlist
Emacs should be doing the client-side part of the spec, as per
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/clipboard-manager-spec
Should mean text placed on the x11 clipboard by emacs will remain
available after emacs exits on x11 desktop environments following the
server-side of the spec, clearly a good thing.
Implementation should be straightforward (modulo developer time
constraints as usual, I for one mightn't quite get to it immediately)
There's a slight complication regarding what to do about our beloved
daemonising and multi-display capable emacs - the appropriate time for
an emacs holding clipboard on a display to ask the clipboard manager to
persist will not be just before the emacs process exits totally, merely
just before it closes on that display, obviously enough.
This arose during discussions in a recent emacs-devel thread [1], but is
a separate concern to problem behaviour of particular clipboard managers
discussed in that thread.
