I've changed the way Emacs interacts with the X clipboard and selection,

users, the main visible change is that `kill' and `yank' now interact
with the clipboard. One advantage of this change is that the
Cut/Copy/Paste menu bar items are just the usual C-w/M-w/C-y commands.
I have a vague recollection that it worked this way long ago and it
caused problems for users. That was in the 90s and I don't remember
details.
