15:49:24 jackdaniel loke: having general mechanism in clim will make it possible to map onto underlying display server what fits. for instance for windows we map :clipboard (eql specialisation), for X11 and OSX we map :clipboard and :selection

15:49:38 jackdaniel "boxes" not handled by display server are handled internally

15:50:01 jackdaniel and our own internal gestures (copy/paste/selection) refer to these two

15:51:02 jackdaniel so it works as well as it does with hardcoded clipboard and selection but with less verbs to advertise

15:51:32 loke jackdaniel: I'm not against the general idea. My very first protoype (still in a branch somewhere) used it. In my rewrite, I decided to make it simpler and simply lock down two "boxes"

15:52:15 loke I did that, because I didn't want to bother with the added complexity, but other than that I have no particular preference.

16:12:43 jackdaniel adding sanity check for valid coordinates revealed a hidden defect in stream printing interface (found by Nisar), that's good – that gives me idea how we can speed up the interface substantionally

16:12:49 jackdaniel (and fix a few other issues)
