bug#14103: 24.3.50; Cannot perform secondary selection

[Xue Fuqiao]

I cannot perform secondary selection on my machine now (I could perform
it about two years ago).  I don't know whether it's a bug in X11 or
Emacs.  After invoking Emacs with `emacs -Q',
`M-Drag-Mouse-1'/`M-Mouse-1'/`M-Mouse-3'/`M-Mouse-2' don't work (nothing
happens).  <Meta> is labeled <Alt> on my keyboard (as in most keyboards
nowadays).  If I use <ESC>, the echo area says "ESC <mouse-1> is
undefined".

In GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.4.2)

Make sure the events aren't swallowed by your window manager.  The
secondary selection is also available via the Super modifier.

Thank you, it is indeed swallowed by my window manager.

But I don't see `mouse-set-secondary', `mouse-start-secondary',
`mouse-secondary-save-then-kill' and `mouse-yank-secondary' are bound to
<s-*>.  If I use the Super modifier, the echo area will say something
like "<s-mouse-1> is undefined".

BTW why not bind them to `ESC <*mouse-*>'?

Sorry, local customization.
