Is that really so?  AFAIR, when you select text in some application on
X, if another app had selected highlighted text prior to that, that
other app deselects its text and loses the highlight.  If Emacs does
not behave like that on X (i.e. is not sensitive to some other
application setting PRIMARY), perhaps it should.

They can, if you set highlight-nonselected-windows non-nil.
