Re: [Suggestion] GNUstep-test for quality control

[Philippe C . D . Robert]

Hi,

I was referring to the problems which arise when trying to integrate 
different desktops/APIs, the copy 'n paste problem was just one 
example. As I do currently not run the very latest GNUstep code on my 
machine (I apologise...) it might be true that this is not an issue 
anymore, but eg. cutting/pasting normal text from a Gnome app (such as 
gedit) into a GNUstep app fails to work - at least on my machine. 
Anyway, there are other examples, such as drag 'n drop across apps 
written using different technologies.
