I only know the answer for the following question: Why does selecting text with the mouse inside Emacs doesn't make the selected text end up in the kill ring and in the X clipboard? The answer to that is customize mouse-drag-copy-region to a non-nil value. If the above question is not what you meant, please explain what is the meaning of "copying something in X". Specifically, what gestures are needed for "copying something", and does "in X" mean in the Emacs session or in some other X application?
