gui-get-selection uses the X selection names.  So you should be doing:

  (gui-get-selection 'PRIMARY)
  (gui-get-selection 'SECONDARY)
  (gui-get-selection 'CLIPBOARD)

Instead.

I suspect all you want is the value of the clipboard, so just use
'CLIPBOARD.  The PRIMARY selection is probably not what you want here,
and the SECONDARY selection is a relic of X-Windows.
