Pasting under X11 (Xfree86-4.2) broken |

In GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i386-debian-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
of 2001-12-06 on raven, modified by Debian
configured using `configure i386-debian-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr
--sharedstatedir=/var/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var/lib
--infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-pop=yes --with-x=yes
--with-x-toolkit=athena --without-gif'
Important settings:
value of $LC_ALL: nil
value of $LC_COLLATE: nil
value of $LC_CTYPE: nil
value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil
value of $LC_MONETARY: nil
value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil
value of $LC_TIME: nil
value of $LANG: de_DE@euro
locale-coding-system: iso-latin-9
default-enable-multibyte-characters: t
If I paste something which I have selected with the mouse in some
other (XFree-4.2)-window, emacs2[01] produce totally garbled text:
%/1=80=8eiso8859-15=81=e4=81=f6=81=fc
%/1=80=8eiso8859-15=81=c4=81=d6=81=dc
What is the point in explicitly marking latin-9 characters in a
latin-9 environment as latin-9 when it is evident that they can only
be latin-9? Every other program (at least XEmacs ans all GTK-based
programs) gets this right.
Disabling multibyte or playing around with C-x RET x doesn't change
anything. Under XFree-4.1.0.1 everything works as expected.
I can paste from any program to any program except emacs,
from emacs to any programm (including another emacs), and from
an unicodified xterm to any program, *including* emacs, without
problems. So the problem seems to be that emacs doesn't like
the selections from programs without full unicode-support.
If there already a known solution to this problem, it should be
documented somewhere.
