The funny thing here is that OS X proves the opposite of what you are tring to say.
OK, granted, I never used a Mac but derived from how GNUStep handles this that drag'n'drop there works well among Cocoa applications. If X toolkits had a better, shared pasteboard, they could do the same.

Why yes that is sure to work
It might work if it came from the linux-desktop-guys. The main toolkits are GTK2 and QT anyway.

Clipboard should be part of the OS, not the graphics server or toolkit.
I was thinking of a seperatly running daemon as is done in GNUStep over which toolkits can exchange data. Why make it part of the OS, though?
