Can we please calm down? All that happened is that they will no longer bundle an old version of XQuartz with every new release of OSX, which is probably a good thing because it will probably make it less hacky to install a newer version.
How many Mac users actually use X? I assume a fraction of the audience of HN does, but, again, the last time I used X on a Mac it was on a PPC G3.
You can't use copy paste because it copies a raster version instead of a vector one.
This makes inkscape totally unusable. I tried to compile a native GTK version but letters and icons will appear as little boxes. It was more useful that way that the X version(at least this way you could guess what the boxes were).
However, this will also prevent copying text from any
X11 application to Mac OS X ones. It will not prevent
copying text from OS X to X11.
But:
When you just want to make a copy of an object within
Inkscape, you should use duplicate (Ctrl-D) rather than
copy/paste (Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V). Duplicate does not interact
with the X11/OSX clipboards.
