Hi Hilaire,

I'm pretty sure that the old interpreter VM did include 
ClipboardExtendedPlugin for Linux. That was done for the Sophie project, 
many years ago. Maybe it was lost when Cog / OpenSmalltalk was started? 
This is a good question for the VM list.

What I can say for sure is that if the plugin is available, we'll make 
best use of it. I think SVG export to clipboard was never done, but if 
the plugin can handle SVG, it makes a lot of sense. We could even do SVG 
import from clipboard too!

Thanks,
