if your mouse has a clickable scrollwheel, or any other button that can 
be identified as 'button3', click it.
i.e.
1. highlight text to copy ( ctrl-C is NOT require )
2. make 'paste into' window/Xapp the active window ( click on the 
window/Xapp you want to past into)
3) click the scroll button, or if emulate3buttons is on , click 
left/right buttons in quick sequence ( or click whatever other button 
your mouse has defined as button3
3a) to paste into a native WINDOWS app, select the app, ctrl-v, or right 
click/select paste
