This has happened again to me. I've re-loaded my coding above to help  
with description.

What's happening is:

Cuts from X11 using Cx are pasted correctly in the X11 app world - but  
Pm supplies old contents
Cms are pasted correctly into both worlds.

Changing the Cx source to a different X11 app (tried xterm, emacs and  
nedit) makes no difference
- pasting in the X11 world has the last paste contents but it still  
doesn't change the paste contents in the Mac world.

Using Cmd-c or the menu option in place of Cx in the X11 app makes no  
difference.

Typing pbpaste in the xterm after a Cx (or a Cmd-C) yields the old  
contents.

Typing
	echo "new contents" | pbcopy
loads the paste board in both worlds.

Essentially what seems to be happening is that the copy - presumably  
through the X11 server - has stopped talking
to the Mac world.
