PROBLEM:
Emacs "Timed out waiting for property-notify event" on RealVNC 4.X
vncconfig when a large (> 2.5MB) portion of text is kill-ring-save(d).
Unfortunately, the EDA tool ascii log files we deal with are regularly
larger than 2.5MB.
Our use model is to run VNC viewer on one OS (e.g. WindowsXP Pro) and
run the EDA tools, Emacs, vncserver and vnconfig binaries on gnu/linux
platforms.
I had not problem editing the same testcase in one vim-6.3 editor
session and copying the file contents and pasting into another vim-6.3
invocation, in the same VNC session.
WORKAROUNDS/REMEDIES:
1. Is there a way that GNU Emacs can be made more "tolerant" of the
"Emacs being flooded with selection requests" issue mentioned in
etc/PROBLEMS for klipper? (I'm assuming at this point that the
this is the problem is the same for vncconfig).
I'm a gdb, C, and X11 programming novice. I'll need explicit
instructions if there is any debugging assistance I can provide to
narrow the problem.
2. Killing vncconfig 4.X isn't really a solution to my general need
for cut/paste support between apps within/between VNC sessions,
clients and/or Microsoft Windows apps.
