"unlocked clipboard" message on Alpha

Hello, I am pleased that there is now a version of xemacs that will run on an alpha. It was a real pain when i would switch from programming on an x86 platform with a nice stable xemacs to an alpha and have to use generic emacs. There is one annoying feature that i have found. When i highlite text with the mouse and then push the copy or cut buttons in the xemacs toolbar and get an infinite stream of: Warning: Attempt to copy to unlocked clipboard! Warning: Attempt to copy to unlocked clipboard! Warning: Attempt to copy to unlocked clipboard! Warning: Attempt to copy to unlocked clipboard! I then have to kill -9 the xemacs process. A work around for copying is to use the highlite and then paste (with my middle mouse button) rather then the xemacs buttons. Unfortunately the same trick doesn't work for deleting text. Is there some known work around this "Warning: Attempt to copy to unlocked clipboard!" problem? Of course this is an alpha problem only...i never have the problem on my x86 machines. Note that i haven't compiled a new libpng: -> WARNING: Compiling without PNG image support. -> Reason: PNG library version too old (pre 1.0.2)! as warned in the Installation.
