Future of NEdit?

[Aaron Hsu]

I seem to recall there being some general issues with clipboard  
functionality in various programs, though I can't recall if I read  
about it on this list or another. I think the problem was that some  
users were running multiple programs on differing Toolkits, and many  
times, each particular group of toolkit aficionados tends to have  
their own way of "tweaking" the way X handles the clipboard.  I do not  
know if this is the case here. What tends to happen is that multiple  
clipboard servers in the background start competing with each other  
and creating incompatible conflicts. On the problem I read about in  
OpenBSD, it was an issue between KDE's clipboard management, and  
normal X programs, or, those not in the GTK camp. Maybe there is  
something similar going on here?
