Thanks for the comments. Using (mouse-sel-mode 1) with default bindings has mouse-2 bound to mouse-insert-selection, and I can initially use it to insert the clipboard contents from other programs (independent of the kill-ring), but once I make a mouse selection within emacs (mouse-1 drag), the region becomes the primary selection and mouse-2 inserts it, but then copying to the clipboard from other programs no longer sets the primary selection for emacs (i.e., mouse-2 continues to insert the last region selected within emacs). This holds even if (mouse-sel-mode 1) is the *only* line in .emacs.
