I'll make my usual recommendation - (I think this is the third time, so
a search of this group would have helped you).
I don't use -clipboard. I have a shortcut to xwinclip and start/stop it
on demand. This way the funky X selections in xterm and emacs don't
usually affect me. If I need to copy/paste between X and MS-Windows I
start xwinclip and the close it afterwards.
