John> John> Signaling: (error "unrecognized selection-conversion type" nil John> #<INTERNAL OBJECT (XEmacs bug?) (opaque, size=4) 0x1063db60>) I've seen this very message, but under different circumstances with Sun Solaris 2.7. I get this same error when I select text while running the Clipboard application of WinDD. (WinDD is an app that displays a remote MS-Windows session on an X11 desktop. The Clipboard is a separate X11 program that allows cut-and-paste between the two desktops.) I have no problem at all with XEmacs when not running WinDD Clipboard. This problem was reported to me by another user at our site, who said it did not occur with XEmacs 19.11, but it does occur with 20.2 (we're a little behind the times here) if that's of any help. -- Mike Scheidler c23mts(a)eng.delcoelect.com
