This question keeps being asked recently. Lots of people have posted code using xsel and xclip. Some of which doesn't work properly (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2014-05/msg00100.html ), but I think the ones posted in this thread are ok. What's the point of running the terminal version of Emacs in X? If you want windowing then why not run the X version? If you don't want windowing, then why both run X at all? BR, Robert Thorpe
