[Xquartz-dev] X11 2.4.0 vs nedit 5.6-cvs20081118

[Jack Howarth]

   I have been trying to solve some issues with the lesstif-0.95.2
and nedit fink packages on i386, powerpc and x86_64. I believe I 
have solved the lesstif 0.95.2 bus errors (which was due to missing
braces from a debian patch accepted upstream)...

The ability to copy and paste in nedit 5.5 still seems non-functional under
i386 fink. Upgrading nedit to the same 5.6-cvs20081118 debian sid tarball solved the
paste problem with one oddity. I have to disable ""Update Pasteboard when clipboard
changes" in the Preferences of X11 or I get an error message...

XmClipboardInquireLength() failed: clipboard locked.

when I try to paste text from one nedit window to another (but not when I
copy the text beforehand). Has anyone else run into this issue yet?
