That, actually, gets the job done. Thanks. One needs to do (cua-paste) 
instead of (cua-paste arg) though.
One would probably want to do that for copy, too, so that stuff like 
cua-keep-region-after-copy is respected.

I assume clipboard-cua-paste will find it's way into cua-mode then?

I think somehow one would have to ensure that all these configuration 
settings (or shall I say hacks?) have a life-time that is more than a 
few months. It is extremely difficult to get things right - I accept 
that I'm shooting at a moving target, which is why a stable release 
would be so important for OS X users.

Stuff like mouse-extend mainly. But I noticed that it's enough to just 
(require 'mouse-sel), but not activate the mode - so that's what I'm 
doing now. That's obviously a workaround, not a fix...
