it behaves as expected for me with Emacs 21.2 and 21.3. Check the
value of the variable interprogram-paste-function: it should be
x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value, which checks the PRIMARY selection
first as COMPOUND_TEXT, then as STRING. Also check that
x-select-enable-clipboard is nil.
Try selecting text in Evolution then evaluating
M-: (x-get-selection 'PRIMARY 'COMPOUND_TEXT)
If that returns the selected text but Emacs middle-click doesn't, I
think it's due to some non-default setting of yours.
