Brent confessed recently that he had tried to subvert the X
model(s) of copy and paste.  Not in those words... but that
was how I read it. ;)
I have a lot of trouble copying and pasting from or to exmh
across a VNC link (from things in the vncviewer to things not in
it and vice versa).  As long as I stick to apps being "normally"
displayed on my X server I don't have much of a problem.
My recollection from my X programming days is that the X model,
like everything in X, is more complex than the human brain can
handle.  It also is very different from the MS-Windows model.
And I get the feeling that Tk tries to "unify" those two models
and fails.  Not sure what the exmh-specific contribution to the
confusion is, frankly.
