Read the Mozilla bug. It works better (but still not good enough, some
clipboard content gets broken) with emacs than with other editors,
apparently because emacs uses different clipboard code. There are
similar, reproducible problems with Konqueror and standard aplications
(where Mozilla doesn't paste at all, Konqueror pastes two random
characters). And there's annoying stuff like Konqueror forgetting
clipboard contents upon closing etc.
I've tested this with various systems and distributions and can say with
authority: The X clipboard is a royal pain in the ass. But you're free
to live in denial ..
