The doc string of the variable pc-selection-mode says this:
You must modify via \\[customize] for this variable to have an effect.
Did the OP turn on this mode via Customize? The sentence "I put the
following in a file called init:" suggests that the customization was
done manually. Furthermore, ``a file called init'' seems to indicate
that the customization is not in the user's .emacs file, but in another
file called literally `init'.
