I'm not sure what you mean. Once you copy something to the clipboard
from X, whatever is the current selection should still be the PRIMARY
selection. [X]Emacs might clear the PRIMARY buffer, but that's an
[X]Emacs thing. In any GTK or QT application that uses the clipboard,
the X selection still works (as far as I know). If you use the
clipboard, you may have to re-select the text to re-set the PRIMARY
selection, but if you are placing it into two different places
(clipboard and selection), then it makes sense that you might have to
do it twice. :-)

The problem is that once you have used the "real" clipboard, the
"unreal" (select-to-copy) clipboard stops working. That's the bug
we're complaining about. Xemacs basically screws the rest of the X11
universe up. :-)
To me, this is a long-standing bug that has improved a bit, in that I
now know how to work around it, but it still sucks to have to
copy/paste multiple times to get it to work.
