X11 clipboard questions |

I was on emacs 22 and was happy. Moved up to emacs 24. Unfortunately I also
changed from AIX 5.3 host to a AIX 6.1 host. So, two things changed.
I see in News where things have changed as far as the clipboard and selection
but I can't figure out what to do.
To add insult to injury, I'm running emacs on an AIX 6.1 host with the display
pointed to a VNC server. I then connect to it using Jolly VNC on a Mac. So,
there are many hip-pity-hops.
Everything works as I would expect *except* from emacs to a Mac client. This
use to work in emacs 22.
I have a copy of xclip so I can dump out the primary, secondary, and clipboard
text.
As documented, when I select text with the mouse, it appears in the Primary
selection. On an xterm running on the same VNC server, I can paste that text.
I can not paste the text into a Mac terminal.
When I do M-w, the text is copied into the clipboard. I can still paste it
using middle-mouse button into an xterm. I still can not paste it into a Mac
terminal (or any Mac application).
When I select text using the mouse in the xterm, I can not yank it into a
buffer in emacs. But I can paste it into a Mac terminal.
What really blows my mind, is I can select text in the Mac window and paste it
into the xterm window but it is *not* in any of the "Primary Selection",
"Secondary Selection", nor "Clipboard" according to xclip.
Any help or advice on this?
Thank you,
Perry
