Looks good to me.  Would you mind committing?

The automated behavior should always interact with PRIMARY.  The only
way Eterm should ever touch CLIPBOARD is if a script directly
references it.  This is due to the fact that Eterm's copy is always
implicit (again, outside of a script).

If you have time, feel free to add the clipboard props as well. :)
