No. Let me try again to explain. tmux currently uses daemon() to daemonize. If you do this on 10.5 or later, you don't get any access to Mac OS X system services such as the pasteboard (and in some cases your session won't last past logout). Apple modified the version of screen they ship to use launchd vproc SPI to detach the process instead. On 10.5, _vprocmgr_move_subset_to_user stops your screen session dying when you log out, and on 10.6 _vprocmgr_detach_from_console also lets you use pbcopy/pbpaste. Applying equivalent changes to tmux fixes the pbcopy/pbpaste issue on 10.6 but doesn't help on 10.5 (same as screen). As Jeremy Huddleston mentions in the macports.org link I posted, this is a result of a change in launchd behavior in 10.6, so it's unlikely we will be able to make it work with 10.5 if Apple can't. Because tmux can compile on 10.5 (and probably earlier), it's necessary to insert some guards for the OS version. The patch I pointed to simply calls the 10.6 SPI unconditionally, which means it won't compile on 10.5 or any other OS.
