[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I'm resending this because I got back a message saying I had to 
unarchive bug 9754 before I could add to it.

I think this bug still exists, in slightly different form, in emacs-24. 
  The call of g_main_context_query in xgselect.c:62 still uses the 
variables gfds and gfds_size, which are not initialized by 
xgselect_initialize if we're running emacs -nw.  But, more 
fundamentally, it doesn't make sense for emacs -nw to be interacting 
with GLib at all.  I suggest the attached patch.
