Yep, emacs is like that.  M-x apropos and M-x apropos-variable are
really helpful for finding things before you try to implement them
yourself.  Also, emacswiki.org is helpful.

IMO x-select-enable-clipboard should ALWAYS be t.  Setting it to nil
is saying "please break my clipboard handling.  I want it to not
work.  KTHXBYE."  Still seems to default to nil in order to behave the
same way as the emacs of yore, however.
