I have a bunch of tools (FvwmButton setup, etc.) that want to grab the
contents of the X cut buffer and use it to invoke programs, etc.
For example, if I select a hostname and click mouse-2 on a button in my
FvwmButtons, I want to start an rxvt which logs into that host:
rxvt -e ssh `<display-cut-buffer-contents>`
or whatever.
The only command-line tool I've been able to find that will retrieve the
value of the cut buffer and display it to stdout is wxpaste, which comes
wmaker. Nothing against wmaker, but I don't use it and I'd prefer to
not have to install it. Are there other alternatives for a tool like
this?
Thanks...
