Subject: 24.3.50; can't paste into emacs

From: Tom Tromey <[email-masked]>

I previously reported this against master.
Since then I've switched back to the emacs-24 branch.

I built from emacs-24 the other day:

    barimba. bzr log |head
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    revno: 116850
    fixes bug: http://debbugs.gnu.org/17057
    [...]

I'm using x86-64 Fedora 20.

If I try to copy some text in a terminal and then paste it into Emacs,
Emacs locks up and then eventually gives the error:

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

Pasting between all other applications works fine.
