I tried the same steps in a fresh XFCE session without clipman, I
still get the same results.
That does suggest it's a problem with xfce's default clipboard manager.
They recently reimplemented that. You may still be running an older
known-buggy one.
I am not very familiar with the internals
of XFCE, not sure how the default XFCE clipboard is managed.
There's a clipboard manager hiding inside xfce4-settings-helper.
Please try the following command at the shell to print its version and
report the results:
xfce4-settings-helper -V
If it's less than 4.8.2, you may have the buggy version. It can cause
similar problems with other apps too [1]. (That doesn't change the fact
emacs should be exiting after timing out, of course).
For some reason I did not get your or Stefan's response despite both of
you CC'ing me. I downloaded your message from the bug tracker and am
responding to it so the threading might be screwed up. Its probably a
Gmail issue.
Irritating. FWIW, my mailserver says it successfully handed the mail to
google. Hopefully this one will reach you less awkwardly.

"xfce4-settings-4.8.2 contains the gsd clipboard that should resolve
this bug."
