Exactly. :) Extends laptop on-battery time drastically.
This has an unpleasant side-effect though, I'm usually having firefox (duh, should be using emacs-w3m more but it sucks in its own ways) fullscreen and when I copy a link from it or just select some text, and switch to a different workspace, the pasting from X selection doesn't happen until I switch back to unfreeze the shit-browser. That's less annoying than wasting cpu cycles but as a known limitation should better be documented. -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:fercerpav@gmail.com

Yea, this is pretty much how X11's clipboard works. In case of pasting I kinda used to revert to stoppable workspace momentary, so that stopped application had a chance to transfer things. I was also thinking of making a delay, say 10 seconds before stopping, that will cover most cases and might be a nice additional feature by itself. Thanks, Anton
