[comp.windows.x] Xt selections and Xview server

geek@mit-amt.MEDIA.MIT.EDU (Chris Schmandt) (10/17/89)

Be warned.  When working with Xt and the Xview server, do NOT use
CurrentTime as the time field in selection operations (such as
XtOwnSelection and XtGetSelectionValues).  The Xview server
changes the time field from CurrentTime (0?) to something
else (the real server time?) for the resulting Notify event,
and this causes Xt to dump the notification.

It doesn't matter what server you're using, CurrentTime is not an
appropriate timestamp to pass to any of these routines.  They need a real
timestamp for them to work properly.
