Well, (in a way) I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I have it with GNU Emacs 24.3.1 on Fedora 19 and Gnome and enquired about it on this group on 2013-11-21 ("Intermittent problems with cut/copy and paste (using CUA keys) between Emacs and other programs") where I asked how to go about tracking down the bug, but got no response to that.
After Emacs has been running for a few days the problem starts to occur and I have both the OP's problem of Emacs failing to paste from the system clipboard and the reverse problem of Emacs failing to place cut/copied items into the system clipboard.
I've found that I don't have to restart Emacs to clear the problem; I can clear it (for a while) with a few copy/paste operations within Emacs. Of course that barely mitigates the problem.
As I use Emacs to compose emails / news posts that and then have to be pasted into web-based news/mail interfaces, this bug is a frequent annoyance.
I'd very much like to hear anyone's suggestions for tracking down the cause of the issue.
N. Jackson.
