Q: I'm using X11 for Mac OS X. When I switch from the quartz WM to
xmonad, I lose copy/paste functionality between X windows and normal Mac
apps. What's a poor sap to do?

A: Add
  quartz-wm --only-proxy &
in your .xinitrc above the line that runs xmonad. It will capture and
syncronize copy/paste events in both environments. More specifically, it
mirrors OS X copy actions into both PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD, but only
CLIPBOARD into OS X paste.

That wasn't exactly a *summary*, seeing as it ended up longer than
quancta's form. At least it's in the right format...
