O.K. Because I'm not sure why gpbs doesn't work for you, could you please give us more detailed information on the bug and the environment you use so that we can reproduce the bug?
ok, so:
1. delete /usr/GNUstep/System 2. fresh CVS checkout, as of 8.8.2003 23:00 CET 3. make install make, base, gui, back (without any patches) 4. ldconfig
5. launch GNUmail and some xapp (nedit or ooffice or whatever) 6. select text in GNUmail, copy it 7. x-paste in nedit -> does not work
8. open some file in nedit and select all 9. paste in GNUstep app -> previously copyied text in GNUstep is pasted (should be X selection)
10. select something short in GNUstep and paste it in GNUstep ->works
11. select something short in X and paste it in GNUstep -> GNUstep app freezes for several seconds (not because of gpbs crash, but because of that failed operation)
That's all i can say so far. Described behaviour was experienced now.

Summary: Broken gpbs when doing pb operations between GS and X
Original Submission: 1. It is not possible to copy from GNUstep and paste in X app strings which contain non latin-1 characters.
Did you really copy a region you selected with a GNUstep app before trying to paste it on an X app? Only specifying a selected region (i.e., making the background gray) is not sufficient for paste; before trying it, you need to explicitly invoke the GNUstep app's 'copy' once after you specify a selected region. Please make sure the GNUstep's copy and paste operation differs from that of ordinary X apps. You can't do copy and paste even for latin-1 characters unless you do copy before paste.
Sure I know that!

3. GNUstep apps used to freeze for a while (waiting for X selection) when pasting from X apps.
Copy and paste is a costly operation.
Well, 'the while' = 20-30+ seconds and result is nothing (understand: no paste at all).
4. Sometimes it works, after i do lots of various cut&pastes.
I feel the comment on 1 also applies here.
It does not, because I am using standard way of copying in GNUstep. It seems to be at random ... (...now trying, to be sure again...) ...ok, at this time it does not work either way. Same result for 1. and for 2.
| I'm using CVS from 6 Aug 2003 and I am experiencing this only for short time.
Probably, you got accustomed to the GNUstep's copy and paste operation...
Well, see my previous comments :)
