The PRIMARY selection maps to NXPrimary (aka @"Selection") now, as that makes 
sense on GNUStep.  Maybe we should map PRIMARY to the general pasteboard (aka 
clipboard) when not on GNUStep or hijack x-select-enable-clipboard?  AFAIK, 
there is no way to get selected text to the clipboard without a copy (M-w and 
such).
