Are you sure you're not just > seeing the usual effect of echo-keystrokes (which specifies a 1 second > pause before echoing)? It's definitely not a normal delay. But your failure to reproduce it (it's 100% reproducible for me) made me suspicious, so I switched to another desktop environment, and sure enough, the echoing behavior after M-w was normal. So this appears to be a problem just with LXDE, which I used for the first time a few days ago. I have no idea what is causing it: M-w has no desktop function in LXDE AFAICT and aside from the no-echo problem works as usual in Emacs; moreover, I just determined that the no-echo problem does not happen with emacs -q -nw started from the LXTerminal. Anyway, I guess this is not an Emacs bug (and I guess I'll have to switch desktop environments again...). Sorry for the noise. Steve Berman
