I assumed you mean selections, and not cut buffers.

I consider this behavior brain-damaged, and it's really easy to fix.
This is also a very user-visible change, for no good reason.
;; This makes the default behavior of mouse paste sensible.
;; On athena, it's sane by default, but everywhere else, it isn't.
(defvar x-paste-move-point nil)
(defun x-paste-text (arg)
"Move point to mouse position (if x-paste-move-point is non-nil) and\n\
insert window system cut buffer contents."
(if x-paste-move-point (x-mouse-set-point arg))
(insert (x-get-cut-buffer)))
If people really want the broken behavior, they can
(setq x-paste-move-point t)
and get it.
