Regarding "too buggy to be usable", they really changed some of the
defaults... it seems, for example, that Emacs is not doing copy-paste as
expected anymore (tries to rely solely on the "clipboard", ignoring the
X selection), and now highlights regions by default, like if setting the
region was like doing text selection in a program such as Notepad.EXE.

As some day I will have to switch to 24, does anyone have a list of
settings to revert to the old Emacs behavior? I'm even wondering if
anything else changed, other than these two things I noticed...
