As emacs23 is compiled with gtk libraries (at least the version of it
that comes with debian), those libraries might be responsible of the
behaviour of copy-paste.

I cannot paste text between different X applications/ttys in console mode.
I get the message "Kill-Ring is empty".

I select text in xterm with left-mouse-button, I try to paste it into
emacs with central-mouse-button and I get the message "Kill ring is
empty".
The same happens in console mode when I try to paste text between
different virtual ttys.
