xterm does support it, it's an xresource that flips it to use only the
clipboard, but i prefer *not* to use the clipboard in xterm.

So I guess I consider myself one of those freakish neckbeards. :P And
since copying to clipboard is already a commandline option, how about
simply adding a *separate* one to copy to the primary selection? Seems
to me that the two features could simply be orthogonal.

I'd be willing to roll a patch for that...

Thanks,

A.
