Subject: Re: Clipboard interactions
Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2010 18:59:54 +0200 [thread overview]

If we are talking about copy/paste of text from Emacs, Xt would not enter in
to it. AFAIK, the only place where Motif may be involved in Emacs is
copy/paste in the file dialog. All selection code in Emacs is plain X.
