   I am having a problem with copy and paste between epoch window 
   and some other X11 window. When I start up Xwindows and epoch, 
   copy and paste between epoch and xwindows works fine. But when I do some
   cut/copy and then paste in Xwindows only and then later on try to
   cut/copy and paste from epoch to xwindow I dont get the new
   copied stuff, but what I copied previously in xwindow.

   I feel that the X copy buffer is not getting updated by
   epoch once it gets updated locally by some other process.

   How can I get around it or fix it.

   p.s: I am using epoch rel 3.2

The problem is that 3.2 still supports the old "cut buffer" stuff, and some
(most?) X applications have moved to the idea of selections.  Colas nahaboo
posted a "quick fix" patch for this problem (Colas, could you please
repost?) and we are working on a more general solution, which should be in
4.x when it is released, probably in early fall.

Sorry we cant be more helpful at this time...
