That's a very helpful clue.

This might be fixed in CVS. There's a good chance of success if the
program

 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <X11/X.h>

 int main()
 {
   printf("%d\n", sizeof(Atom));
   return 0;
 }

prints 8 instead of 4.

If I'm on the right track, then it helped, especially in combination
with your clue.

If selection works, then I wonder whether opening a file works, too (as
in the original report). I'm not sure they're the same bug.

Thanks,
