As far as I can figure out, that must mean that the event containing
primary selection data has arrived late, or that a second, spurious
such event arrived to be handled by notify_event in the usual manner.
Why this happens to Adam and not to me is beyond my ken.

I was able to reproduce what Adam sees (the above recipe) with Nedit
and Terminal (just wanted to make sure it wasn't an xterm specific
thing). In fact, once you push command-C, you can continue selecting
and pasting within X11 and it appears that the OS X pasteboard is
keeping up with the last selection in X11 UNTIL it is pasted into
something on the OS X side.
I also tried out Adam's recipe and it works with Emacs (22.2.1 built
via Fink...no special customizations of emacs) and Terminal as well.
