bug#22434: 25.0.50; recentf pastes X clipboard upon opening

[Pascal A. Niklaus]

When opening a file with recentf-open-files, the X clipboard content is

pasted into the opened file, where the mouse pointer is at that moment.

To reproduce this behaviour:

Start emacs with "emacs -Q"

Evaluate to following lines: (M-:)

(require 'recentf)

(recentf-mode 1)

Fill the clipboard with something by selecting some text (in e.g. a terminal window... text that would typically be pasted by a

middle button click)

M-x recentf-open-files

Choose a file from the menu

In my setup at least, the selected text is pasted into the file right where the

mouse pointer was when I chose the file from recentf's menu with a

left-click.
