Re: C-k takes for ever

I am running a remote display from a Solaris box onto a Linux
(Redhat 7.0) box at home. This is going over a dsl line which is
very responsive. I have no problems with scrolling or redisplay.
However, pressing C-k to kill a line will result in about 4 seconds
of blinking lights on the DSL modem during which time xemacs is
unresponsive. This also works when using C-w to kill the current
region.
I noticed the same thing, and Mike Alexander was kind enough to tell
me about the following, which fixed it:
If you set x-selection-strict-motif-ownership to nil it should work
better. Andy's change added that variable to control the behavior
that is making things slow, but the default value is to do it the
slow way. If you turn that off it should be better.
Bottom line, set x-selection-strict-motif-ownership to nil and all
should be well.
