>Description:
Whenever I do anything that stores something into the clipboard/selection/cut-buffer/... (e.g. kill a line, kill a region), xemacs spews a pair of errors like this:


X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  18 (X_ChangeProperty)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x10009b5
  Serial number of failed request:  28108
  Current serial number in output stream:  28110
X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  25 (X_SendEvent)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x10009b5
  Serial number of failed request:  28109
  Current serial number in output stream:  28110

I get the same effect on a -STABLE machine and a -CURRENT machine.  The -CURRENT machine isn't running right now.

On the -STABLE machine I have the following version of stuff installed.


xemacs-21.4.17      This port tracks the stable version of the XEmacs text edit

I'm running Gnome 2.10 and sawfisy as my window manager.


>How-To-Repeat:
      Start xemacs from a terminal window under X, type a bunch of text, move to the beginning fo the line and type control-k to kill to the end of the line.  The text should spew into the terminal window.
