Mouse-2 is now bound to a different command than it was in Emacs 23.3,
as you well know. Isn't this change part of the selection-related
changes in Emacs 24 that the different binding was part of? Pasting
with mouse-2 doesn't go through the kill ring now.
FWIW, on MS-Windows, "C-x C-x" still goes to the start of the pasted
text, but that could be due to the fact that PRIMARY is emulated on
w32.
