OK, obviously yes. I'm a little confused with regards to the 
documentation of this variable, which says that
"Non-nil means cutting and pasting uses the clipboard.
This is in addition to the primary selection."

So since I want to use the clipboard, I'd set it to t. But that's 
wrong. So it's set to nil now.

Right, will do that, but I suggest this be integrated directly, as the 
documentation of x-select-enable-clipboard does not mention that a 
value of nil breaks the Services menu, and I guess it shouldn't do so 
either way.

Thanks for the two patches. With them applied an the below code in 
place (attached for everybody's reference), things seem to get better, 
but only if cua-mode is disabled.

If do a manual M-x clipboard-yank, everything is fine. If I do an M-x 
cua-paste, I get the old faulty behavior.

The following code in cua-base might contribute to the problem:

  (define-key cua-global-keymap [remap yank]            'cua-paste)
  (define-key cua-global-keymap [remap clipboard-yank]  'cua-paste)

I commented them out and everything works.

Previously, I never had a problem with this - possibly because I was 
just mapping my own H-v to 'yank (or now, 'clipboard-yank) and that was 
it. But it looks like CUA is remapping the key binding instead of just 
it's own C-v, so that's majorly incompatible with what is documented 
about cua-mode.

Of course, I can now try to undefine this [remap ...] stuff myself 
after cua-mode is loaded, but that, honestly, would be yet another hack 
that'll probably be broken sooner or later.

Or I could use my own cua-mode in AquaMacs and ditch the default cua 
alltogether.

A further problem is that I have set

(setq cua-keep-region-after-copy t)

which is broken now. Region is deleted after clipboard-copy.

Also, I still have the "No overlay corresponding..." error when trying 
to close a  frame  with the mouse.

Thanks again for your help
