clipboard not shared about x2x HOT 6 CLOSED

Actually it is shared, I tried it with two Ubuntu computers. But normal shortcuts or right-click paste commands don't work. You need to paste with middle click. That way it works.

Edit: I thought I need to comment more on this. Xserver's clipboard is different than the system clipboard. In Xserver only selecting copies the text to clipboard. And middle click pastes it. The normal copy-paste operations are not related to X.

some of us don't have a middle click :/

I can confirm this is the case between Debian Wheezy and Ubuntu 14.04.

I can confirm this on Arch Linux!

I have a middle click, and can't get ANY form of copy/paste to work.
Mind you; despite having xclip working previously (before I discovered x2x), it also refuses to work at all now.

It seems that the X clipboard (PRIMARY selection) is shared, but CLIPBOARD, this is covered in #19.
