If you are using motif you may want to just turn off motif selections.

Subject: Copying text without touching X clipboard?
I've been having a problem with XEmacs putting text into the X clipboard
that I don't want/need copied.
I run XEmacs remotely over a DSL line, and every time I press M-d,
C-backspace, C-k, M-w, etc. the program freezes because (I assume) it is
transferring the XEmacs cut buffer to the X clipboard. This makes it
unbearable to use, because the pauses are frequent and long.
I was able to get rid of these pauses by setting the customize variable
'interprogram-cut-function' to 'none' -- but this completely nullified
the copy function _within_ XEmacs as well. Is there a way to make
XEmacs copy and paste within itself, but not with X? Or, does anyone
have tips on other ways to get rid of the annoying pauses?
Thanks,
Michael
