I've been having a problem getting text selections to work properly. I'm
using WindowMaker with XDarwin. If I run X apps like xterm, emacs or
xemacs and I try to select text by either doing a click-n-drag or a
double click on a line, the selection gets unselected after about half a
second, before I get the chance to copy it. This happens whether I run
the X app locally or remotely, just as long as it is displayed locally.
What's interesting is that if I make the exact same selection again, it
will work, but it has to be the exact same selection. Any idea what
might be going on here?

Also, is there any way to map fkeys to do handle things like copy, cut,
and paste. On my Solaris workstation at work, I have a Sun keyboard with
copy, cut, and paste keys, and they seem to just automatically work fine
across all apps. There is also a "find" key that works within xemacs on
the selected word. It would be nice if I could get them working with
WindowMaker/XDarwin too.
