As it seems that the patch is correct, I've just installed it. But, the above is a change to x-clipboard-yank and it seems that this function was introduced on 21 Jan 2004 (strangely that fact is not in ChangeLog). At that time x-selection-value was already there. That means there will be some reason for x-clipboard-yank not using x-selection-value. Does anybody know who wrote it? If you are the author, could you please confirm that the change doesn't break your intention? --- Kenichi Handa [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
