As of about 2 weeks ago when I updated emacs from CVS, 
(x-get-selection-internal 'PRIMARY 'STRING)
stopped working.
To reproduce, just start emacs -q and select something.
Then try to paste in an xterm window.

This is all happening under Gnome 1.0 in Redhat 6.1.

putting stuff on the CLIPBOARD does work:
(x-get-selection-internal 'CLIPBOARD 'STRING)
