diff src/globals.h @ 112374:4d90cea362a3

Fix X11 compilation failure. * globals.h (struct emacs_globals): Document f_Vselection_alist. * xselect.c (Vselection_alist): Remove declaration, moving its documentation to globals.h. This fixes a compilation failure induced by the earlier change to globals.h today.
