Actually, I've got two questions on Epoch, hence the cryptic subject line.

1)
Does Epoch use the selection mechanism or cut buffers?  I've looked at the
source but I don't know a hell of a lot about X and it seems to have provisions
for using the selection mechanism but in actuality, it seems to be using
cut buffer 0.  Any clues?  I want to use the selection mechanism so that
I can snarf data from xfontsel and the other standard X utilities.

2)
Has anyone gotten 'create-screen' to place a window relative to the current
section of the virtual display under tvtwm?  I've got my Minibuffer glued
to the bottom of my screen but no matter what I set my "UsePPosition" to in
my .twmrc file, I always get my new Epoch screens at the absolute (0,0) of the
virtual deskspace.  I know someone has done this out there...

Thanks a lot for any info.  BTW: Epoch is pretty crufty.

Epoch uses cut-buffer 0, via the (store-cut-buffer) and
(get-cut-buffer) primitives. We've looked at using selections, but
haven't gotten a good working system yet.
