I used interprogram-*-functions rather than X11isms (considered mouse-yank-primary to be an X11ism) to preserve valuable abstraction barriers between term (window system) specifics and emacs core. Such barriers are perhaps currently crumbled slightly as Jason Rumney's recent w32-vars mail in this thread illustrates, but are IMO worthy of repair, not teardown, especially given multi-tty. Highlight: recent-X11-style behaviour, propagate the active region to the X11 primary, _without_ affecting clipboard or kill-ring. lightins: recent-X11-style behaviour, middle-button insert of X11 primary, _without_ affecting clipboard or kill-ring.
