Thank you Kenichi for your answering ;-) But I still have some
different ideas here.
Of course Hangul characters can not be received when we set locale
to zh_CN.GBK, but I think this is the right behavior. For example,
while I set keyboard-coding-system to chinese-gbk, I can not input
Hangul characters, because it's my responsibility to set correct
keyboard coding system for chinese input. So I think that's also my
responsibility to set correct locale for X paste.
Another problem with current implementation is, some characters can
be encoded in different char-settings. For example, I set file
coding system to chinese-iso-8bit, and selection coding system to
compound-text-with-extension, and copy/paste a very long chinese
article from mozilla. Every thing seems to go fine, but this article
just cannot be saved. This is because X encode some characters as if
they are not chinese-iso-8bit characters, but emacs decode them to
emacs-mule successfully, and finally file coding system cannot
encode emacs-mule to chinese-iso-8bit.

Chinese-gbk is my extension to Emacs, I believe I have post it in
m17n's maillist. I can read/write gbk encoding file, and unicode
file with utf-translate-gbk-mode turned on. Everything goes fine,
except copy/paste in X (ntEmacs is fine). ;-(
