Re: Improving X selection?

[Richard Stallman <rms@gnu.org>]

    Okay, more nearly on same page now, see the "select-active-regions"
    you introduced equivalent to the hook*.  So I'll stop calling it the
    hook now.  Anyway, it's not happening in some circumstances.

It has been a long time since I thought about your patch, and I
don't remember all the details of the issue.

What exactly is "not happening", and what are the circumstances?
Can you specify a test case?

    * Maybe might want an interprogram-highlight-function to indirect
    through like interprogram-[cut|paste]-function, rather than embedding
    a direct call to x-set-selection, which I presume doesn't work on
    non-X11 ?

I am lost here.  There is no such thing as
interprogram-highlight-function, so perhaps your proposal is to add
it, but I can't understand what you want it to do, or why.
