(Get the code!)
I think it is really time Xorg people get on this. There would be benefits for all linux users, just look at the launchpad bugtrackong page... Allow me to repost a possible implementation :
a) 100K web page (with images) gets copied in firefox
b) the clipboard acquires right away all the TARGETs the source (firefox) supports (text/plain, text/html, image/jpg, ...)
c) the clipboard copies everything on ram or on disk
d) you can quit the source, everything is in the clipboard, with exactly the same TARGETs...
Maybe b) could be delayed until the source quits ? Is this feasible ??
OK if it is a large page/image, ask the user before mmap'ing 1Gb to ram but for nowadays what does it cost to keep 100K of html, the same content but for text, and another tabular data version for spreadsheet etc.
Maybe restrict all this for a localhost X11 connection ?
