Not yet, I'm actually working on it right now though, trying to 
get X copy/paste working. What an obscure process with just xlib!

I just got paste basically working, after I get copy working I'll 
post it and email you or something.

After that, my basic xterm replacement will be set up. Then it is 
bugs and extensions. I'm still trying to think of a good way to 
do the extensions - I'd ideally like something that would just be 
ignored by xterm for compatibility sake, but failing that, at 
least I need an activation sequence that no other program would 
even put out.

I'm kinda leaning toward something like \033[?5000h to activate 
it - xterm uses 1000h for its mouse extension function and i 
believe ignores ones in that pattern it doesn't know. Then once 
magic mode is activated it can just look for invalid unicode 
characters to activate a command, perhaps even using a simple 
checksum so cat /dev/random isn't likely to trigger them. (This 
would be a lot easier if I didn't care at all about compatibility 
with existing unix programs!) Worst case, we can use an 
environment variable to signal the library to never send magic 
commands, so at least then xterm won't get trash.

anyway yeah i'll post it later and let you know.
