There have been changes to the way Emacs interacts with the clipboard: e.g., if text is selected in an X application, `yank' no longer pastes it into an Emacs buffer; similarly `kill-region' no longer stores the text in a way that middle-click will paste it into an X application. Can anyone tell me how to get the behaviour I'm looking for (implied above), or point me to the relevant discussion? Thanks, Dan
