The Clipboard is an optional facility under X, and normally isn't used at all. The Clipboard info is in the Frames chapter as part of the full info on Emacs and selections. That is not a 100% ideal place for it, but I am not sure any other place is better. Perhaps Graphical Kill should have an xref leading to that whole part of the manual. #2 should be separated from #1, IMO. People will not find #2 by trying to go to node `Graphical Kill', and #2 has only a limited relation to #1 - it seems added here only as an afterthought. A node just describing Delete Selection mode would be undesirably short. How about creating a node that describes PC Selection mode and Delete Selection mode, and relates them to Transient Mark mode? It might be a good idea.
