martin, i'm having a hard time figuring out what's different between the two
versions from your description.
C-w is SUPPOSED to set the clipboard [at least by default -- try -vanilla!]. it
looks like this does indeed happen in the pre- version, but not the post-
version.

Apparently not for me.
If I C-w in a post-Alastair XEmacs and C-y in a pre-Alastair XEmacs, I get
===> Selection is not a string: PRIMARY
If I C-w in a post-Alastair XEmacs and mouse 2 paste in a pre-Alastair
XEmacs, the killed text is inserted (presumably from the PRIMARY selection).
Going the other way:
If I C-w in a pre-Alastair XEmacs, then both C-y and mouse 2 paste in
a post-Alastair XEmacs inserts the killed text.
When going between two post-Alastair XEmacsen:
C-w in one, C-y in the other gives:
===> Kill ring is empty
But maybe I've customized my XEmacs too much...

In order to save my hands, I am cutting back on my mail. I also write
as succinctly as possible -- please don't be offended. If you send me
mail, you _will_ get a response, but please be patient, especially for
XEmacs-related mail. If you need an immediate response and it is not
apparent in your message, please say so. Thanks for your understanding.
