Subject: bug#53769: Implementation of X11 MULTIPLE selection is incomplete (with patches)
Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2022 03:01:43 +0000

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
1 - Emacs deletes the MULTIPLE property (with the requested
target/property atom pairs) after reading it; whereas it should be
deleted by the requestor, not the owner.
2 - Emacs should update the MULTIPLE property with the conversion
outcome for each target (i.e. None if the conversion failed)

Patches attached, please see commit messages for details. I've
previously signed the paperwork.
