Basically yes, but there are other issues - mouse-sel-mode really only
deals with mouse interactions (at least last I checked). There is some
functional overlap with mouse-sel-mode alright, but mouse-sel-mode e.g.
doesn't make the /set via keyboard/ [transient-mark] regions set the
primary X selection, patch does (reasonably reliably through an idle
timer trick).
(Also, of course you probably want explicit kill ring functions changing
_an_ X selection, the clipboard one, just not the primary one).
