67:  Why can't I cut from Emacs and paste in other X programs?               +
                                                                             +
  Emacs stores things you "cut" in the X "cut buffers".  It also pastes from +
  the cut buffer `CUT_BUFFER0'.  This is obsolete.  Most modern X programs   +
  now expect to work with "selections" instead of cut buffers, although some +
  like `xterm' will try to use the cut buffers if the selection is null.     +
                                                                             +
  Emacs 18.58 contains a "fix" that makes xterm work by default.  This       +
  "fix" is that Emacs clears the `PRIMARY' selection when it stores          +
  something in the cut buffer.  By making the selection null, xterm will     +
  then fetch from the cut buffer when you try to paste.                      +
                                                                             +
  For versions of Emacs prior to 18.58, you can make pasting from Emacs into +
  xterm work with the following X resources:                                 +
                                                                             +
    ! Solution by Thomas Narten, should work under X11R3 and later GNU       +
    ! Emacs only copies to CUT_BUFFER0.  xterm by default wants to paste     +
    ! from the PRIMARY selection.                                            +
    XTerm*VT100.Translations: #override \                                    +
        ~Meta <Btn2Up>: insert-selection(CUT_BUFFER0,PRIMARY)                +
                                                                             +
  You may have problems copying between Emacs and programs other than xterm  +
  that won't store cut text in the cut buffers or look in the cut buffers    +
  for text to paste (for backwards compatibility with obsolete applications  +
  like Emacs :-).  The best workaround is to use the `xcutsel' program as an +
  intermediary.                                                              +
                                                                             +
  Andy Norman has been accused of producing a patch for Emacs 18.57 that     +
  allows it to use selections directly.                                      +
                                                                             +
  This problem does not exist for Epoch or Lucid Emacs.                      +
