Is that the case - your last post is ambiguous. yes, the problem seems to be triggered by a mouse selection (not just by setting the region). Up until that point, setting the clipboard in another app (by cut/copy) sets the primary selection in emacs (which is then inserted by mouse-insert-selection). After an emacs mouse selection, cut/copy elsewhere no longer sets the primary selection (nor emacs' view of the clipboard, apparently, as clipboard-yank still returns "Kill ring is empty").
