That is good, it is better for the user that Emacs stays responsive, 
and he can always paste again if Emacs discards one request.  But I 
think sending a reject is better that just discarding.  After all, 
Emacs knows it won't handle the request, and the other side then 
doesn't have to time out.  I don't know how klipper acts on that 
though.
