Same problems on my side: Mostly working on VNC-based X servers, a
paste into Emacs sometimes works, sometimes not. I have isolated
the problems a little bit, though. Here is the exact scenario and
my findings:
One Emacs is 21.1.1 NT Emacs, the other is 21.1.1 on Solaris
running in a VNC session on NT. Window manager of the VNC
session is fvwm2. Both Emacsen started with --no-init-file
--no-site-file. The third window around is an xterm also running
in the VNC session (most conveniently with a running cat >
/dev/null). All text pasted around is ASCII only.
1. Paste from Solaris Emacs into NT Emacs or xterm always works
fine.
2. Pasting between NT Emacs and xterm always works fine in both
directions.
3. After a select in Solaris Emacs and a paste into NT Emacs, a
paste into Solaris Emacs (regardless whether from xterm or NT
Emacs) does not work any more.
4. After a select in Solaris Emacs, paste into xterm, immediate
new select in xterm and paste back into Solaris Emacs, a paste
into Solaris Emacs (regardless whether from xterm or NT
Emacs) works again.
5. Setting `x-select-enable-clipboard' to t in Solaris Emacs
disables the workaround under 4.
Hope that helps. Would be interesting to know if the work-around
works for the other posters, too. Then this could be almost
called a bug report, I guess.
