When an X applictaion is started on a remote host over SSH, copying using mouse2
does not work, unless the text is pasted to a terminal/other local app first,
then copied from there.
Tried with Netscape 4, xchat and Licq.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an X app in a SSH session
2. Mark text for copying with mouse1
3. Try pasting to Mozilla using mouse2

Actual Results:  Nothing happens, unless text is pasted to another local app
first, then copied from there.

Expected Results:  Text should be copied to Mozilla's URL bar

Using xf4.0.2.
