This thread (not Ubuntu specific) discusses the issues quite well :
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=539888
The first, probably naive, solution that comes to mind is for emacs to
use xclip or equiv even IF the frame is not an X frame IF it detects X is
running. I guess that might mean linking to x libraries or something
and thus make it impossible? Reading the millions of queries about the
same thing makes me think I'm being too hopeful and just need to bite
the bullet and use the horrible mouse selection technique.
