what is "the right thing" when we cahnge the frame-current-layout wrt calling LAYOUT-FRAME? should we call it with the previous width/height or should we allow it to recompute and resize the window?

Hello... I need a suggestion: Since cut-and-paste-mixin is now only about selecting text in stream panes (which is not cutting) and pasting has been completely removed from it, the name of this class is very inappropriate.

at the very least, I'm considering adding support for highlighting text with different fonts and such, and generating HTML from it

Actually, now that I think about it, there is nothing stopping us from supporting selection of images either.

One thing that is very specific to it, is that it supports highliting text (shift-drag) via the mouse.

So selection-mixin is good. The alternative would be something like draggable-selection-mixin

jackdaniel: Yes, I think the desired window size should be recomputed. The window manager still has the right to refuse to change the size, of course.

also, layout-frame should take into consideration if the frame size is fixed on its own (even without width/height arguments)

Another question: The current text selection code inverts the colours of the selected text, with the exception of the single case when the text is black on white background. In that case, the highlight is darg-red on ;oght-yellow background.
