I just gave that a test. If you look at the output of C-h C-<INS>
you'll probably find that is is bound to kill-ring-save which uses
the value of the variable interprogram-cut-function for inserting
the region into the cut-n-paste system.
Im my case interprogram-cut-function is set to x-select-text and
x-select-enable-clipboard is nil so I have to use middle-click
rather than C-v to paste the text in other programs. (BTW, I
had to look at the src of x-select-text to remind myself about
x-select-enable-clipboard.)
I bet that is your case as well.
Try setting x-select-enable-clipboard to t and see whether you
get the functionality you prefer. You can customize it:
(customize-variable 'x-select-enable-clipboard)
or just setq it in ~/.emacs:
(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)
P.S. Apologies if I targeted this at a too low
familiarity level at least it'll be there
for the archive....
