If we highlight a region with the mouse in emacs, it is available on the X windows paste buffer. But if we just set a mark and then say, go to the end of line, we see the region highlighted just the same, in blue, but it is not available on the X windows or emacs paste buffer. So it looks the same, but acts different. So maybe use different colors? One for current regions, one for regions that also happen to be the current X and emacs paste buffer current item, etc.?
