Re: copy and paste between Aqua and X11 applications?

Probably some preference that you can change...

Yeah. In your Mighty Mouse control panel, you set what the "middle-click" does. If you want to paste, set middle-click to "Button 3." It's set to Dashboard by default.

Usually option-leftclick will function as paste, though for this to function
you need to select "Emulate Three-button Mouse" from the X11 preferences.

You are right about it not Cmd-V not copying the text if you deselect it
after Cmd-C.  That just seems wrong.  It's acting like Cmd-C just tells the
Mac that X11 "owns" the clipboard selection, but doesn't actually copy it
until another app does Ctrl-V.  At that point, it asks X11 what the
selection is and there isn't one any more.

Here Cmd-V in X11 just produces a beep (even if there's something to paste from the Mac OS X clipboard or X clipboard). I suppose that it is not used at all in X11 (possibly except in its own windows, like "Customize Menu", but I haven't tried).

Since paste is handled by middleclick, in X11 cmd-V is always a greyed-out menu option.
