[time passes, but hey, this is a low volume list...]

Ah, I finally figured it out.  The problem was with the preferences in =
XQuartz on the Mac.  Duh.

This seems to work:

  Input:
    Emulate 3-button mouse
    Enable key equivalents
    others unchecked
  Pasteboard:
    Enable syncing
    Update Clipboard
    Update Primary
    Update Pasteboard
    other unchecked
