And for a few times when that happens, I try to select&paste between
all other X clients, including the affected xterm. Sometimes, I do
that with clients running from several remote machines. All of them
select&paste among themselves happily. However, whenever I try to
paste from any of them into emacs, emacs doesn't do it as expected.
It seems to me that emacs doesn't want to take part in the
party... until I apply that magic workaround.

Not sure. I guess Emacs is in some situations unable to properly
handle the X11 event which informs it that it has lost the selection.
So, it still believes it owns the selection (which is kept as the last
item in the kill ring). A paste thus pastes directly from the kill
ring, not from the X selection.
There is another problem with Emacs and X. I can't remember anymore,
as I've already given up and found some way to work around. It's
about how Emacs reads and interpret the user's application resources.
When a resource is specified in mulitple places, or when a resource
name is matched by multiple resource entries specified with wildcards,
Emacs takens the wrong one. Again, I'm too lazy to file a bug report.
(Don't take me wrong. I did file bug reports a few times for other
bugs. I was so impressed that RMS responded me in a few hours with a
patch that really fixed the bug!)
