For some time, I've had this in my emacs init files: (setq x-select-enable-clipboard t) (setq interprogram-paste-function 'x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value) Now, with a recent build of bzr emacs, I see that leading to this error message: current-kill: Symbol's function definition is void: x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value I personally am not actually fussy about the details of how X the clipboard talks to the kill-ring and vice versa. I need there to be a way to do it, but it almost doesn't matter which way it is (e.g. I prefer a yank to snag the current X selection, but if I need to do a Control C first before that will work, I can live with that). But what I do find really disturbing is when stuff I've had in my set-up for years suddenly causes problems because I did an upgrade. (Of late, the gnus emacs team seems to be having trouble with the idea of stable interfaces.) -- This message was sent on behalf of durducengiz@gmail.com at openSubscriber.com http://opensubscriber.com/message/emacs-devel@gnu.org/14552599.html
