I just want the x-clipboard to always write into emacs yank buffers.
I don't see what those bars have to do with it.

That is not what you said, you said you "want to copy anything from the X clipboard into emacs". The tool bar and menu bar paste command puts stuff from the clipboard into Emacs. That is not the same as wanting the clipboard always go to the emacs yank buffers. Brief can be good, but too brief and you become unclear.

Your statement again isn't clear. Do you mean that if you copy something ten times in several different applications that isn't Emacs, all ten pieces of text should end up in the kill ring, even if you didn't interact with Emacs in between? That will not happen.

Or do you just want the yank command to yank from the clipboard first if there is something there? A quick M-x apropos clipboard would then have shown you x-select-enable-clipboard.
