Hi I have a problem running XEmacs remotely. When I press ctrl-space, I do get 'mark set', but when I then press Ctrl-w to cut something, I get 'The region is not active now'. I have exactly the same when selecting a region with the mouse. The selection immediately disappears (presumably because of the clipboard functionality). Pressing ctrl-w then gives the above message.
The problem disappears when I remove the -clipboard option from Xwin. However, even with this option, I do not have this problem when I use cygwin's emacs (locally). If I do not use -clipboard, but start xwinclip, the problem reappears. The problem does not occur in xemacs -nw, so it is definitely X related. I'm running xemacs 21.4 on debian if that matters.
