I suspect that the problem is that the X clipboard works by making applications register themselves as "I'm the one holding it" rather than by storing the content eagerly in the X server, So when Gedit fetches the clipboard's content, it actually has to ask Emacs for it, but Emacs is stuck waiting for call-process to end before it can reply to those requests,

I had a similar problem and this solution works (thanks!): can you please explain why? I'd expect a xdotool script to work even with call-process, but it doesn't record mouse clicks.
