When I use Debian Etch/Lenny with fvwm I use:
(when (equal window-system 'x)
(progn
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8-unix)
(setq selection-coding-system 'compound-text-with-extensions)
(setq x-select-request-type '(UTF8_STRING COMPOUND_TEXT TEXT STRING))
(modify-coding-system-alist 'process ".*" 'utf-8-unix)
))
to allow properly put text from clipboard to Emacs.
When I give my .emacs to my friend with Ubuntu 10.10 and GNOME
he report trouble with paste to Emacs.
To fix I just remove 'UTF8_STRING':
(setq x-select-request-type '(COMPOUND_TEXT TEXT STRING))
WTF: COMPOUND_TEXT. It make me mad many times.
How I can know which encoding used by X Window?
On which this depend?

Age, version number, objects in the X server, the window manager, the
X clients. When libiconv, libXft, Pango are used, it's likely a modern
system. Fvwm is from last millennium.
OTOH, a simple copy&paste check would show.

You can never know too little of what is not worth knowing at all.
