It could very well be; I've seen bugs that were worked around by
getting rid of KDE and/or GNOME clipboard helpers and window
managers.

KDE and GNOME always blame XEmacs, except that Havoc Pennington has
admitted that he doesn't really understand the ICCCM or Xt's
implementation of it, so he's willing to entertain the possibility
that XEmacs is doing it right and Metacity (et al) have it wrong.  He
doesn't intend to do anything about it as long as it only affects
XEmacs, of course.  :-)

Nor do these bugs affect only XEmacs; I've seen reports that they
affect browsers etc on occasion, but I can't lay my hands on one off
the bat.
