Both Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V and highlight-middle click both just work the way they're 
supposed to?

The problem in the past was different apps that used different clip board temp 
spaces, mostly between gtk and Qt/KDE apps not recognizing each other's clip 
boards.  I've not had that problem in a long time, though, that I can recall.  
I do use about 95% KDE apps, but even then it hasn't been an issue in a long 
time.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
