;; as of 2021-12-19 with latest master pgtk emacs on non-store WSL I can copy
;; text from other apps into Emacs, but I can't copy text from Emacs into other
;; apps, and so I use this work-around with wl-copy.
;; original value of interprogram-cut-function was gui-select-text.
;; you need to have the wl-clipboard package installed for the wl-copy tool.
;; update 2022-01-28: this work-around still required with WSL 0.51.2.0
