  Nah, it's just a bug, and not the way it's supposed to work.  GtkHTML
is a bit confused between the primary selection and the clipboard
selection.

  I think the right behavior is the following:

    * Middle-click should paste the primary selection.

    * Selecting a chunk of text should set the primary selection.

    * Cut/copy/paste should work on the clipboard selection exclusively.

  This way everyone should be happy.

  I think this is what XEmacs does too, although, I am not sure XEmacs
actually uses the clipboard selection.  In any case, I think XEmacs gets
it right, while we are doing it all wrong.  :-)

  Larry, Radek, what's your take on this?
