Let me again say that it can be very annoying. "Some Program is busy
for a long time" can already be fulfilled with "some program is
downloading something from the Internet" which can take...very long, I
live in Germany.

All the time? Not that I knew. No package. And only the options that
are provided by vanilla Emacs. But now I found this option:
`x-selection-timeout'. Shouldn't that be "our" variable? Seems I have
set it to 0 (meaning infinity) in my config. Here on this system the
variable is initialized with 5000 (milliseconds).
But ok, when this behavior is expected when I want Emacs to directly
interact with the clipboard whenever I kill something (maybe that's what
you meant with "all the time"?) and nobody disagrees with that, then I
consider this part of the report as done.
Thanks so far,
Michael.
