emacs -Q
Select some text outside an Emacs session - e.g. from another Emacs
session or from a Web browser or other app. Copy it to the clipboard
(C-c on Windows).
In Emacs, select some text with the mouse (e.g. drag mouse-1). Click
mouse-2 to paste the text you selected. Instead what was copied to the
clipboard gets pasted.
In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
of 2010-12-20 on 3249CTO

It will work as you want if you customize mouse-drag-copy-region to a
non-nil value, I think.
I will try to fix the default case as well in a few days (let me know
if you want meanwhile to try a fix -- it's in mouse.el), but no
promises, since this is all very tricky due to conflicting
requirements and the fact that Windows doesn't have primary selection.
See, for example, bug#6689.

Yes, and that's what I use for myself.
This report is about the default setting of nil, i.e., for others.

Great, thanks. And good luck.
