mouse paste completely broken

[Sam Steingold]

the situation is much worse than I first thought.

emacs -q
q (remove splash screen)
C-x 5 2 (create a new frame)
now you should see two frames: "*scratch*" and "*Messages*"
select word "buffer" in "*scratch*" with double-mouse-1
and paste it with mouse2 in "*Messages*".
So far so good.
now select "information" in "*Messages*" (again, double mouse1)
and paste it (again, mouse2)  in "*scratch*".
instead of "information", the word "buffer" appears in "*scratch*".
i.e., it looks like each frame has its own notion of x selection
pastable with mouse2

I have set my window manager to focus follows mouse.

this is linux/gnome, emacs bzr tip from Monday.
