   What if I want to select something with the mouse, cut it, and paste it

   this behaviour? Right now, I'm use keyboard commands.

I cannot reproduce this. Killing the region "again" explicitly with C-w
creates a new entry on the kill-ring, *not* appended to the previous entry.

    I too think it is counter-intuitive for mouse selection to put the

    then C-w then C-y is a fairly common sequence of operations for me.

I've hard to see whats so wrong about putting selected region on the
kill-ring.  Doing that seems to me to be a harmless thing in case you
dont do any subsequent yanking, and very convenient if you *do*
subsequent yank/copy.  

Cut/paste is plain and one of the most frequent actions. I think epoch
should support doing that using *only* the mouse buttons.  Much of the
thrill is gone if cut/paste would require one hand on the mouse and the
other hand fiddling around with good old C-w/M-w. Of course its wise to
retain a certain continuity with "traditional" emacs, but dont let that
stop you from implementing new and more convenient schemes.
