I tested the recipe a vanilla build of Emacs 23.2 from the tarball, with
`emacs -Q'; the selected text is indeed pasted.
However, it seems that the behavior of Firefox differs from that of
Gedit and Openoffice; those disown the selection after deselection.
Perhaps the behavior of Firefox is aberrant. Assuming the latter is
more standard, I will look into changing Emacs' behavior to follow it.
