hmm... it sounds like that won't actually restore the previous behavior:
previously emacs transparently worked with _both_ the selection and
the clipboard -- e.g., C-y would insert either the primary selection
or the clipboard (or from the emacs kill-ring), whichever was more
recent.

that's the behavior I want.

[The new behavior is "more consistent", but also much less convenient.]
