Why would it make sense to do such a thing? Windows does not have any "primary selection", it has only the clipboard. Windows users do not expect anything but the clipboard to work between applications. > Mind you, if you naively reversed the settings as presented in NEWS, it > wouldn't actually restore the old settings on w32, because the fact w32 > e.g. already had x-select-enable-clipboard on by default isn't noted. Would reverting the defaults of all those variables except x-select-enable-clipboard revert to the old behavior on Windows?
