Re: Bug for X11?: How to make Gnuplot not to grab X selection

[Ethan M. <merritt@u.washington.edu>]

You could try adding this line somewhere near the top of gplt_x11.c

#define NOEXPORT

This will disable at least some of the selection code.
I have not looked in detail to see if there are remaining bits and
pieces that will not be disabled by this flag.
