Whether it should or not is very debatable. Historically, Emacs has
always reuqested the user to select with the mouse or use M-w for that,
and I have seen no evidence that people usually expect Emacs to copy the
region to the X11-selection more eagerly.
Your suggestion might please some people, but I do not think it
should be used by default. So I suggest you turn your code into
a global minor mode.

I'm not sure I understand. If it relates to the current code (as
opposed to yours), then please post a separate bug report for it (and
include a recipe, of course).
