Unfortunately the X11 app I want to copy from doesn't have an edit

I just now installed abiword so I can copy to it, and then from

to my Mac app. This seems to work, although when I first hit cmd-v to
paste into the app , nothing is pasted, but when I hit it a second time
I reported this shortly after Panther was released, please see the
archives. Sometimes multiple paste tries are required. However, it
doesn't appear to be solely an X11.app problem - similar events are
missed doing copy/paste within the OS. So, *most* of the time all you
need is patience - the copy always seems to work, just keep pasting ;)
Rarely, I cannot get a paste to work at all, and re-type manually.
Using a 3-button mouse:
X11 <=> X11 : B1 to copy, B2 to paste
OS X => X11 : B1 to highlight then clover-C to copy, B2 to paste
X11 => OS X : B1 to highlight then clover-C to copy, clover-V to paste
Right?
