Package: xfce4-genmon-plugin
Version: 3.4.0-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
When the spawned command is set to 'xsel' to show the text currently in
the primary clipboard, 'xsel' fails because there is no /dev/stdin,
presumably since genmon_Spawn() closes stdin.
This is also reproducible on 3.4.0-2+b1 on Debian unstable.
One workaround is to write a wrapper script like this:
xsel < /dev/stdin
However, it would be better if this were not necessary.
I will also file a feature request for 'xsel' in case that would be better.
Sincerely,
Nathaniel Beaver
P.S. Another workaround is to use 'xclip -o', since 'xclip' does not
require stdin.
