Please tell what happens when you try both calling
x-get-selection-internal and pasting into xterm.  Do you get garbage
or nothing at all?

Also, can you recall when was the previous time you resynced with the
CVS?  (I'm trying to figure out what changes could have caused this.)

Did anything change in your system setup since selections worked last
time?
