I can't seem to find any crate supporting the X11 clipboard on recent distributions. And existing (non working) crates all seem to have gone unmaintained.
Is there some effort somewhere that I didn't find ? Anybody knowing the arcane of X11 well enough to try write such crate or to give hints on how to do it, at least for texts ?
Druid's X11 backend implements clipboard handling itself using the bindings crate x11rb ; you could look at that for inspiration:

Thanks. I'll see if I can get something working without windows with x11rb.
