Hi, and thanks for the feedback.

Are you sure??  For me and all the configurations tried (emacs and org
versions), when x-select-enable-primary is true, it does not simply
yank "* foo", even after I remove the selection.

The already mentioned tests I made were on my laptop.  I just tried on
2 different machines, with, respectively, those configurations:

Emacs : GNU Emacs 25.3.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
3.22.19) of 2017-09-15 Package: Org-mode version 8.2.10
(release_8.2.10 @ /usr/share/emacs/25.3/lisp/org/)

GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.23) of
2015-02-19 on c6b8.bsys.dev.centos.org Org-mode version 6.21b

and the bad behavior is identical -- removing the selection does not
help.   All the machines are redhat based, though... Could it be that
you used a completely different distribution?

(NB: With x-select-enable-primary false --default--, it yanks "* foo"
whether I remove the selection or not.)
