I have used the separate functions for this now with the key binding
(global-set-key "\C-cw" 'clipboard-kill-ring-save)
(global-set-key "\C-cy" 'clipboard-yank)
if I use
;; make emacs use the clipboard
(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)
(setq interprogram-paste-function 'x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value)
then I guess the clipboard functions are not needed?
Are there any disadvantages with the x-select-enable-clipboard t
solution?

On Linux, Emacs doesn't interact with the clipboard.
Just add these lines to your .emacs
;; make emacs use the clipboard
(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)
(setq interprogram-paste-function 'x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value)

First press the Copy key, then, on the target, press the Paste key.
Or do you have another OS?

What is the "Copy key"? I guess the paste key (outside emacs) is C-v.
I haave used some binding myself which some times get over writen
which is a little anoining. How do I avoid that?
In my .emacs I have
(global-set-key "\C-c\M-w" 'clipboard-kill-ring-save)
(global-set-key "\C-c\C-y" 'clipboard-yank)

I don't know if this is relevant but I have set the variable
x-select-enable-clipboard to non-nil and I have always copy-pasted
normally between Emacs and the rest of my KDE system.

Look on elder Sun keyboards, Type 3 and Type 4! On the left side were
extra-keys titled Copy and Paste.

Past tense? You mean Sun stopped making keyboards with the extra
function keys down the left hand side? The last one I saw was a USB
keyboard, so I assumed they were here to stay.

OK, Sun Type 5 keyboards had still the left extra columns, and were
still not USB (Mini-DIN connector, like PS/2 mice and other
keyboards). I did not like them because of their design, piece taken
from a cylinder, by which the function keys were very high and showed
kind of a steep rise. And the mouse still was connected to the
keyboard. So only one cable stuck in the Sun. I think the Type 5c
keyboard had an improved usability.
The Type 6 keyboard was more useful then the Type 5. It definitely
had a mechanical mouse. Again the mouse was connected to the
keyboard, which had a Mini-DIN connector. This keyboard has some
extra "multi-media" keys in continuation of the usual function keys
row. It was later converted to become an USB keyboard – if it hasn't
been this from the start! For PC keyboards adapters existed from Mini-
DIN to USB, so presumingly all keyboards manufactured during the last
five or six years are USB under the hood. I wonder whether such an
USB keyboard also stops the Sun when being detached ... (Mini-DIN
connectors can toggle miniature switches built into the receptacle.)
The recent Type 7 keyboard I only know from having it seen once or
twice. It has a more PC keyboard like look, I don't remember whether
it has the two separated extra columns on the left. I do remember a
particular key by which the Sun can be put to sleep. And make it
awake, too.
I'm a bit biased to the Type 4 keyboards. They worked better!

I select the text in Emacs in the usual way (C-Space then move the
point), then resort to the mouse and use the "Edit --> Copy" menu
item.
Then in some desktop GUI app hit "Ctrl-V" to paste.
Have yet to try Bour9's solution though.

Just noticed that tapping the F10 key will open the File menu, and
then the arrow keys and RET will get you that menu item as well.
