I can reproduce this bug. In Emacs 23 mouse-2 was bound to
mouse-yank-at-click which calls (x-get-selection 'PRIMARY
'UTF8_STRING) with this calling sequence.
mouse-yank-at-click
->yank->current-kill
->x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value
->x-get-buffer
But, now mouse-2 is bound to mouse-yank-primary which
directly calls (x-get-selection 'PRIMARY). As the second
optional arg DATA-TYPE is omitted, x-get-selection uses
'STRING for that. And, for such a data-type request, Gnome
applications returns something like this:
\u041f\u0440\u043e\u0431\u0430
There are various ways to fix it, and each is fairly easy
once we decide the precise spec of each functions. But as I
have not followed the discussions in the thread "Cut and
paste with C-w/mouse-2 not working?", I don't know which is
the best. One easy way is this:
