I checked with Emacs and xedit and at least middle mouse copy works for both. For the Emacs copy wont work, which may be due to it using the wrong clipboard. For xedit I don't know how to do a copy. If you say that the last patch causes this behaviour could you cross check with an older version or try with setting GSOldClipboard to YES.

No, I'm not talking about the middle mouse copy, but copy and paste from an X app to a GNUstep. Please make sure you can copy text on an X app and paste it on a GNUstep app.

For xedit to copy text, specifying a region with mouse is enough (clicking mouse and then dragging it).

I'll try GSOldClipboard, but I'm not sure this is a cause. As far as I checked, xSelectionNotify
is not called when X-to-GS copy and paste is tried.

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.
