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. Are you using transient mark mode? Perhaps it would be good in transient mark mode to set things up so that when the mark is active, the region is available as a selection.
