GNOME's Mutter 3.17.2 Adds X11/Wayland Clipboard Interoperation
GNOME's Mutter window manager was updated to v3.17.2 today as the latest development version in the road to GNOME 3.18.
Of importance to Mutter 3.17.2 is that it now supports X11/Wayland clipboard interoperation. Now the clipboard contents from copying and pasting can be done between native X11 and Wayland applications, which previously wasn't possible up until now for those running a mix of X11 and Wayland programs on the desktop.
More details via the GNOME.org announcement and the GNOME.org BugZilla with patches for this work going back to last year.
