Remember your telling me that the X clipboard application and EZ didn't
"play nice together"?

Today I uncovered a patch submitted to info-andrew in August that
mentions the reason for the problem and fixes it. I didn't understand
the what the fix was about then, and I don't install random fixes I
don't understand, so it didn't make the cut for the release.
The current Andrew sources have the patch, so if ever we do a new update
and release of ATK, it will be fixed.
