Actually, I was sort of thinking that once the basic support
for returning multiple selection strings was implemented, an
X specific change could be devised that would introduce a
configurable variable something like:

x-paste-what-selections

which could be a list of 'CLIPBOARD, 'PRIMARY, etc.

This would even allow emacs to interact with custom selections
from custom apps by adding new non-standard selection names to
the list (not that I think that is really likely anyone would
actually use it :-).
