 Except that it should trash all your EURO SIGNs, no?  (If not, you
may 
 be winning because of a default to ISO 8859-15 in your language 
 environment.  Try under LANG=C xemacs -vanilla.  If you still get 
 correct EURO SIGNs, I'll be very surprised.)   
Your right, but pasting EURO SIGNs with the mouse also doesn't work 
absolut perfect (they are displayed wrong but inserted right) without 
my workaround.

     Heiko> PPS: It works in the GNU Emacs too. 

 ?  I thought GNU Emacs had installed a fix to be compatible with the 
 XFree86 breakage.  Unfortunately, I doubt the improved fix below 
 (which is easily generalizable to KOI8, VISCII, ISCII, and Unicode in 
 such segments) works in GNU Emacs.  The basic string manipulation 
 should work (so you might prefer to add it to your library, so you can 
 use it in both Emacsen), but I rather doubt that GNU Emacs provides 
 the same hooks.   
My version of GNU Emacs is the 21.2.1 - it maybe that this is a version 
without the fix.

 Could you try this?  Works for me in light testing in 21.5.12 (but no

 EURO SIGN, just the umlaute characters from your mail).  If it works 
 for you too, I'll clean it up and add it to the latin-unity package 
 (with a proper installer/uninstaller, of course).   
It doesn't work for me. With your code the last x-selection made 
inside of the XEmacs (21.4) will be pasted in the XEmacs instead of 
the real last x-selection made in a KDE console, if I try to paste 
text with umlaute characters or the EURO SIGN.  

The next 3 weeks, I've no chance to get the XEmacs 21.5.12. I'll send 
you a note, if I've test your code in that version.
