gtk+ 2 handling of X primary selection not optimal?

[Andy Tai <atai atai org>]

Hi, with gtk+ 2.20 (as in Debian 6) if you use the left mouse button to
select text, over standard gtk+ text widgets, such as the about box of a
gtk+ program, it seems the X primary selection is updated every time you
select one more character (as you drag).  This is not the behavior when
dragging (selecting text) over web pages in Firefox, text in X term, or text
in gnome-term, where the X primary selection is updated only after the user
has released the button after finishing dragging.  One would assume the gtk+
behavior increases CPU load and decreases the GUI performance...
