bug#6558: 23.2; Cannot paste large clipboard

[Steve Chapel]

1. I went to http://projecteuler.net/index.php?section=problems&id=13
    and copied the list of numbers to the clipboard
2. I opened a new file with emacs and pasted the clipboard in with
    Ctrl-Shift-V

Emacs did not paste the entire list of numbers into the file.

Ctrl-Shift-V works to paste the entire list in vi, and also using cat to
create the file from the Gnome Terminal command line.

By default, `yank' does not paste the clipboard.  Bind a key to
clipboard-yank, or set x-select-enable-clipboard to t.

We should probably set it to t for the trunk (Emacs 24)...

This was done.
