SG> 2. Copy and paste fails in an XTerm window.  However, I can paste a

Does Shift-Button2 work?  (In case the application running within
XTerm is mouse-aware.)

If not, upgrade your XTerm.  The latest versions should have no
selection conversion problems.

(What locale are you running in?)

SG> (5. One last, and possibly unrelated piece of data:  twm (the window
SG> manager that comes with XFree86)  fails with a segmentation fault. )

The only known crash in twm has been recently fixed, and only happened
with buggy clients.  If upgrading doesn't solve your problem, could
you please send a stack backtrace?

SG> Is it possible that XTerm pasting has been disabled in some
SG> configuration file?

I don't think so.  The selection conversion code in XTerm has
undergone a reworking to get it properly internationalised; in the
process, I introduced a bug.  The latest versions of XTerm should fix
all known selection conversion-related bugs.

(I do not recall what the status of stock 4.1.0 is; however, the
Debian version of 4.1.0 fixes all known bugs.)
