*** Emacs is slow to exit in X
|
||||
|
||||
After you use e.g. C-x C-c to exit, it takes many seconds before the
|
||||
Emacs window disappears. If Emacs was started from a terminal, you
|
||||
see the message:
|
||||
|
||||
Error saving to X clipboard manager.
|
||||
If the problem persists, set `x-select-enable-clipboard-manager' to nil.
|
||||
|
||||
As the message suggests, this problem occurs when Emacs thinks you
|
||||
have a clipboard manager program running, but has trouble contacting it.
|
||||
If you don't want to use a clipboard manager, you can set the
|
||||
suggested variable. Or you can make Emacs not wait so long by
|
||||
reducing the value of `x-selection-timeout', either in .emacs or with
|
||||
X resources.
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes this problem is due to a bug in your clipboard manager.
|
||||
Updating to the latest version of the manager can help.
|
||||
For example, in the Xfce 4.8 desktop environment, the clipboard
|
||||
manager in versions of xfce4-settings-helper before 4.8.2 is buggy;
|
||||
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7588 .
