*** 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;
