I would love to have a cross platform clipboard image module in proxygadgets, I think it would be a good addition to Maxgui.

I'm willing to help out a joint effort with Seb, skid or anyone else interested but it's too hard and boring to do it alone.

I'm going to do some research for Mac and Linux and post back here.

Well it looks like it should be fairly easy with Fltk.

Mac doesn't look so easy though.

There is also the possibility of the Tcl toolkit.
