Description

[cmg]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16 i686; en-US; 0.7) Gecko/20010105
BuildID:    2001010517 ( applies to current nightlies as well )

When highlighting text in an XEmacs session on another machine with an X11
gnuclient on the local terminal, a middle click to paste on the mozilla url bar
will not paste anything.

If I paste into an Xterm and then highlight it again and paste into mozilla it
then works.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.start XEmacs on a foreign machine on a foreign display
2.M-x gnuserv-start
3. From another machine, editclient an X11 session and highlight a url in the text
4. Middle click on the url bar and watch nothing be pasted

Unfortunately, fixing this bug requires a complete redesign of the Mozilla
clipboard.  Fortunately, that is being worked on.
