I take it back. It is actually back to sometimes using the clipboard
and sometimes using the primary selection and I am finding it pretty
difficult to figure out which is which. I was apparently using the
right pairings for a while, but got bitten. "leave it alone" would
have been a better option. :( Is there some place with a set of elisp
commands I can add to my .emacs file to make it all go back to normal?
This is really confusing and really bad.
