Among X applications, most support the primary selection; some also

clipboard will be completely independent of the MacOS selection and/or
clipboard unless there is some utility which specifically synchronises
the two.
I'm not sure but I think XDarwin itself tries to keep them in sync. I
can copy and paste back and forth between Mac and X apps as if there
were no difference between them (a pleasant surprise).
I knew that *Emacs keeps a kill ring separate from X' selections; the
reason I brought this up is that GNU Emacs in X behaves the way I would
expect: C-y and middle mouse button both paste whatever was most
recently copied, regardless of whether it was copied from a Mac app or
an X app.
Thanks,
