It's certainly worth trying again though --
(1) I think the emacs infrastructure for handling this stuff has been
changed quite a bit
(2) IIRC, one of the main complaints was just speed, and machines/etc
are _much_ faster now (even your slow laptop ... :)
(3) I've personally had it enabled for years, with zero problems
IMHO, it really does make using emacs in conjunction with other X apps
much nicer (things "just work"), and is clearly what noobs expect.
