There is another simple mental model: selection, copy to selection
buffer. middle-button paste, paste from selection buffer. This model
may be easier to understand since it is what clipboard does.
I don't like that, but I can live with that, leT's see what other think.
Me neither. And please note that the X selection protocol is supposed to
be asynchronous i.e. copy should happen at paste time. The X selection
is not an additional clipboard.
