Re: Graphical Kill node in Emacs manual

The reason this does not mention the Clipboard is that it usually
doesn't involve use of the Clipboard.  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.
