<Clipping huge description of clipping>
I agree with your description of these facilities, and I now see why you
setup things the way you do. Except one thing....
You write:
> 1. Click and hold mouse-1, drag, release. Text is highlighted and
> placed into the primary selection. Click mouse-2. Primary selection
> is pasted as input. Generally everywhere but in Emacs v24 this was
> changed to use the clipboard by default instead of the primary selection.
Then later on:
> Note that in your words "If I mark something" that at that time it has
> already been placed into the primary selection using the X Window
> System behavior. You can immediately paste that with the mouse middle

The behaviour you describe in the latter paragraph still works for me in
Libreoffice and Firefox. So, I don't see why you say in the former
paragraph "Generally everywhere but in Emacs v24 this was changed to use
the clipboard by default instead of the primary selection."
I don't see that it has been changed much. Like you say yourself, when
you press C-c or C-x it's placed on the clipboard. The only thing I've
noticed change is that C-v in those programs pastes the clipboard not
the primary selection.
Perhaps Firefox and Libreoffice are setup different by distro makers.
