Maybe we should have the Edit menu selectively grey out what does not work on read-only buffers? This is partly done, but somewhat inconsistently. For example, "Yank" is allowed. The definition of x-clipboard-yank does not have an (interactive "*") spec. I don't know whether that is the reason, or whether the interactive-spec does not get consulted automatically. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
