Harold: you wanted a test case for the clipboard hang. I can do it this way, using only xterm and notepad:
1) open xterm and notepad 2) type some stuff in the xterm 3) left click and drag to select text in the xterm (it gets highlighted) - let go of the mouse, and the text stays highlighted in reverse video. 4) single left click somewhere else in the xterm - the reverse video highlighting of the selection is removed 5) bring the focus to notepad and ^V to paste: it hangs for 3secs and doesn't paste (previously it would have hung completely). Note 1: if in between steps 3 and 4 you paste into notepad, it works, and even if you continue to step 5 it still works, you have to do it in that order. Note 2: Even after step 5 you can still paste X->X, ie middle-click in a different xterm and the paste goes through. (Maybe now it gets it from the CUT_BUFFER0 instead of from PRIMARY, the xterm manual states that selecting text puts it in both PRIMARY and in CUT_BUFFER0 -- presumably step 4 removes PRIMARY but does nothing to CUT_BUFFER0).
