You shouldn't do that! By this means everything you kill in GNU Emacs
is put into the X clipboard and another copy is put into the primary
selection. This is pollution.

Deliberately copy something into the clipboard that this gets shared
among all X clients! Most of what you kill is obviously scrap,
otherwise you wouldn't kill it, would you? Besides there are in GNU
Emacs functions like clipboard-kill-region or clipboard-kill-ring-save.
And check mouse-insert-selection! This is what I use to import
something into GNU Emacs. And what about
x-get-selection/x-get-cut-buffer?
