The idea of the new Emacs behavior is that you should put text in the
clipboard from xterm as well. AFAIU, that's the "new wave" in
selection- and clipboard-related behavior on X.
etc/NEWS tells about these changes under "Selection changes", and also
describes how to get the old behavior back. If the recipe there
doesn't fit the bill, please "M-x report-emacs-bug RET" with the
details.
