The one that has me stumped is uing M-w to copy in console emacs - why can than not be made the primary and clipboard X contents if X is running? The issue is that the interprogram cut function calls x-select-text which determines that the emacs frame is not X and therefore does not set the X buckets. Is there an easy way around this? It seems (to me who is tired and confused) that it would be better to just set the X buckets if X is running, not if the emacs itself is an x frame. (I am running emacsclient -nw in urxvt) regards r.
