Raising X11 urgent flag from webbrowser.
The global picture is that I want my Firefox X11 window to have its urgent flag set when (say) a new Gmail mail arrives. I feel confident that I can produce the code to check Gmails arrival by reading some other Firefox extensions' code.

How does X11 clipboard handle multiple data formats?
It probably happened to you as well - sometimes when you copy a text from some web page into your rich-text e-mail draft in your favorite webmail client, you dislike the fact that the pasted piece has a different font/size/weight.. it somehow remembers the style (often images, when selected). How is it than that if you paste the same int...
