bug#17026: 24.3.50; x-get-selection: Timed out waiting for reply from selection owner

[Tom Tromey]

I'm using a recent-ish emacs trunk on x86-64 Fedora 20.
Whenever I try to paste using the middle mouse button, Emacs freezes.
After a time it comes back and gives the error:

x-get-selection: Timed out waiting for reply from selection owner
