bug#17101: 24.3.50; can't paste into emacs

[Tom Tromey]

I previously reported this against master.
Since then I've switched back to the emacs-24 branch.

I built from emacs-24 the other day:

    barimba. bzr log |head
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    revno: 116850
    fixes bug: http://debbugs.gnu.org/17057
    [...]

I'm using x86-64 Fedora 20.

If I try to copy some text in a terminal and then paste it into Emacs,
Emacs locks up and then eventually gives the error:

    x-get-selection: Timed out waiting for reply from selection owner

Pasting between all other applications works fine.

Sounds like a duplicate of 16737.  See

bug#17101: bug#16737: Timed out waiting for reply from selection owner

[Torsten Bronger]

Hallöchen!

FWIW, I've experienced this hanging/timeout for many months when
using Emacs with "ssh -X".  A fresh Emacs works for a couple of
minutes or hours, and then this problem occurs and wouldn't go away
until I restart Emacs.  I've thought it was due to a connection
quality problem (broken pipe or whatever) because I had "good"
months and "bad" months.

It has never occured right from the start.  The first pastes always
work.

By the way, a "currupted" Emacs also takes longer to shutdown.  It
says "Saving clipboard to X clipboard manager..." for a couple of
seconds instead of for a fraction of a second.

Tschö,
Torsten.
