When I do a text copy in an X app like rxvt and then try to paste into
XEmacs with C-y, the last thing I copied in XEmacs is pasted instead of
what I copied in the rxvt.
Finally, I DO get the expected results when I paste into XEmacs using
the mouse instead of C-y.
I have seen more problems with the selection cut-paste with some of the OS X
X Window managers than with others. I am now using Apples X11.app with the
x-quartz-wm and find that mouse selection, mouse paste works as expected
almost all of the time. With the 0.8b version of Oroborosx as the wm, I
could not get many X applications to accept selections between X apps or
from the OS X clipboard. Even xcutsel did not help.
On my PC, I see similar problems in cutting and pasting between PC-Pine and
Windows apps (including native XEmacs). I mention that because PC-Pine a few
versions ago added code to make sharing the Windows clip board with the Pine
cut/copy buffer possible. I suspect that the OS clipboard sometimes doesn't
get updated by these applications, but that is just guessing.
