A few days ago I wrote about a problem with xterm.  Specifically, when i
depressed button three in a xterm window, the xterm terminated in error.
(note that button three was un-bound by twm)

Jim@expo (are you listening?...) wrote and suggested that we needed to
apply patch 4 to xterm.  We did and that fixed the problem.  the newly
built xterm works fine.

This also resulted in a new problem.  Now xclipboard doesn't work.
It comes back with a simple: Permission Denied error message.
(permissions to our X bin {and *all* clients} are r-* to all)

I should also tell you that we had problems in just applying the patch
to xterm only, so a *new* X bin was created and most, if not all, clients
were rebuilt and routed there.

I then rebooted X from the old bin, xclipboard still won't work
(same message).

Is xclipboard writing a temp file somewhere?  If so, where?

Any guesses, comments, etc, greatly appreciated.
