The thread I linked to contains a couple of real-life examples.
Basically it forces every selection change to be copied to another process, and the selection changes all the time and can be large. This can be very slow. It also means you're not able to do smart things when you cut and paste inside an application (which is the common operation, and which basically every application uses).
So, what is the *proper* solution to this? Something changed in X? Or would just limiting the size of the object to be put into glipper be enough?
