Re: Improving X selection?

[David De La Harpe Golden]

Attached patch introduces an interprogram-highlight-function and
extends values of x-select-enable-clipboard / x-select-enable-primary
in an (I think) useful manner*.   The descriptions of the
customizations may be overly verbose.

Another mail to follow about making select-active-regions work.

[This is all still separate to but not incompatible with the idea of
having interprogram-paste-function be capable of returning more than
one value.]

* Note that since switching to trunk following unicode2 merge,
w32-vars.el is now being loaded on my linux system, not clear on why
(multi-tty?) -  and it also contained an alternate
x-select-enable-clipboard definition , which strikes me as even
stranger, but I don't know about w32 (don't even have microsoft
windows) - the patch just comments it out, not clear on what the right
thing to do is, or why w32 is having anything to do with x x-select-*
in the first place (surely it has its own w32-select-*  for its
interprogram-cut/paste functions?)
