Well, it was longer than expected... Turns out if you don't deactive
the mark, emacs copies the regular active region. My guess is it
corresponds to mouse selection: once a region is selected it is copied
to the primary selection.
(defun my-copy-rect-to-primary ()
(interactive)
(when (region-active-p)
(let ((text (mapconcat 'identity
(extract-rectangle
(region-beginning)
(region-end)) "\n")))
(deactivate-mark) ;; lost 30mn because of this
(x-set-selection 'PRIMARY text)
(message "%s" text))))
