Well, Lee you are right. I just experienced a lot of trouble copying text from 
gtk2-emacs to gtk2-mozilla-firebird and vice versa. Either via X selection or 
CUA-like key  strokes. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Insofar it would be a 
good idea making emacs compatible to the gtk2 toolkit, and the gnome desktop 
environment.
