Robert,
In an intial test of your patch, I noticed that your patch, after the
first selection, only tends to grab every other selection that I make on
both the Windows clipboard and the X clipboard. For example, I go into
emacs under X and select a region, then I go to emacs under Windows and
paste the selection with the middle mouse button; the first time it
works fine; now I select some text in emacs under Windows (which causes
the selection in emacs under X to be unhighlighted) and go to paste it
in emacs under X, but instead of getting the new selection coming from
emacs under Windows I instead get the same old selection from emacs
under X. Now, if I go back to emacs under Windows and select something
else, then when I go to emacs under X it pastes the correct selection.
This process repeats and it always seems that every-other selection is
gotten but that the ones in between are never picked up.
Any ideas?
Harold
