When I install emacs, shouldn't the rpm modify .emacs to enable the
clipboard by default?

It shouldn't need to: the X selection is enabled by default when you
run Emacs on X.
If you have a specific problem, please report the recipe to reproduce
it, starting with "emacs -Q". Thanks in advance.

Yes, but not the clipboard. This means you normally cannot paste text
from Emacs into other programs with the keyboard, since this operation
usually uses the clipboard rather than the primary selection.
For that reason, I set x-select-enable-clipboard to t in my .emacs, I
hate to reach to the mouse and paste with the middle button.
Would it be an idea set x-select-enable-clipboard to t by default?
