That took three years on the second attempt. NeoOffice.og was the first
and it took seven.
It should. But we have to assume that folks are using MacOSX versions
of X11, not MacPorts/XQuartz.
Thats what I did... I can copy and paste just fine between GIMP in X11 and Pages and TextEdit.... back and forth
No one should be using Wine with Apple's X11. If they are, they should be told to get Xquartz just like people running old versions of Wine are told to get the latest version. Since 10.6, a normal Xquartz install wont replace Apple's version anymore, you can have both.... so Apple updates and such don't break it like in 10.5.
I agree with the X11 comment, but WE have to ASSUME they are using the
broken X11 and that they don't have enough experience or fortitude to
want to upgrade to XQuartz. Remember one of the selling points for Macs
is "It works, out of the box". Until the code is moved to Apple's X11
that's what we have to deal with.
As far as your test, did you move images, text or both?
