Re: Lifting size limitation on X-to-GS copy & paste (was Re: [bug #4658] Broken gpbs when doing pb operations between GS and X)

[Kazunobu Kuriyama]

Hi Fred,

I'm afraid I have to withdraw all my words in the quoted email
below.  The gpbs in the current CVS doesn't do copy and paste
from an X application (e.g., emacs, xedit) to a GNUstep one
(even for Latin-1 characters), though the reverse is seemingly ok.
The X's property sticks to text which has been selected with a
GNUstep application.

So, if the observation above is right, I don't think I need to
modify the submitted patch in accordance with the modification
you did.

Cheers,
- Kazu
