Use clipboard, not cut bufferUse clipboard, not cut bufferPosted Aug 15, 2005 18:15 UTC (Mon) by AJWM (guest, #15888)In reply to: Use clipboard, not cut buffer by Zarathustra Parent article: GTK+ 2.8.0 released The GTK developers seem to think that Unix == Gnome, and honestly, Al Viro said it best: judging by the GNOME codebase the people who designed GNOME are culturally incompatible with UNIX. That's hardly surprising. Remember, Gnu's Not Unix, and it shows. Now, I happen to like some of the extra flags and options that the GNU tools (talking command line here) provide over standard Unix, on the other hand they do tend to take it to ridiculous extremes. And I really don't like that they expect me to use an EMACS-like info-browser to find out what some of those flags and options do, rather than putting that information in the man page where it belongs. But what can you expect? RMS grew up on a DECSystem, not a Unix box. Nothing wrong with that, it's just different.
