This suggests two plausible reasons:
1. It's a bug in your Motif library.
2. It's a bug in XEmacs' use of Motif.
Either way, building XEmacs with Athena instead of Motif is likely to
make the problem go away. If option 1 is true, updating the Motif
library may also help.
Additionally, if you don't need to cut/paste between XEmacs and other
X applications, you can decouple XEmacs' internal cut/paste operations
from the X clipboard by setting the variables
interprogram-cut-function and interprogram-paste-function to nil.
