The idea of the new Emacs behavior is that you should put text in the
clipboard from xterm as well.  AFAIU, that's the "new wave" in
selection- and clipboard-related behavior on X.

etc/NEWS tells about these changes under "Selection changes", and also
describes how to get the old behavior back.  If the recipe there
doesn't fit the bill, please "M-x report-emacs-bug RET" with the
details.
