Focusing in and tracking experiments, it seems to be a problem mainly related to pasting to/from emacs-24 / firefox-3.6.3. But also it appears cmdline (Xterm version 256) to firefox as well I don't really use hardly any other apps. Xterm, firefox, emacs, and X, usually several frames of each (except X) and maybe several virtual terminals provided in the X desktop pager. Where I'll have several bunches of xterms and maybe several instances of emacs running.
