I figured I would set select-active-regions to nil since I never
changed in in earlier versions, but there is an difference to the old
behavior. In 23.3 (and before):

-when one used the mouse to select a region the primary selection was set

-when one set the mark and used movement commands to make an active
region, the primary selection was not set

In 24.0., if select-active-regions is t, both of these actions set the
primary selection. But if select-active-regions is nil, neither of
these actions set the primary selection.

Do you know how I would get the behavior back what it was in 23.3?

Thanks,
Bob
