Fwd: OSX 10.6.5 , Terminal.app, iTerm.app pbpaste, pbcopy do not work under tmux

[kevin beckford]

Investigating this patch to make tmux work with pbcopy/pbpaste, felt
that I should let macports know about this issue...

The problem is calling daemon().  Basically, once you call daemon(), you
can't use any GUI functionality.

This is a fix for the problem under 10.6 (obviously it needs
conditionalizing):

I didn't write that, but it's the same as what Apple's patch to screen
does.  The _vproc* functions aren't declared in a public header file
though they are open source:

<http://opensource.apple.com/source/launchd/launchd-329.3.2/launchd/src/v
proc_priv.h>

The function used above (_vprocmgr_detach_from_console) is on defined on
10.6.  Apple's screen patches for 10.5 call another private vproc
function (_vprocmgr_move_subset_to_user).  This also acts as a daemon()
replacement but doesn't seem to fix the problem with pbcopy/pbpaste not
working - it doesn't work in screen either.

vproc doesn't exist at all on 10.4 and earlier.
