I don't know what we're doing differently, but am and have been using 
what I know to be standard X11 primary selection buffer with middle 
click to paste.

I do periodically use the actual clipboard in combination with the 
primary selection buffer so that I can hold two things at once.

I've also started selecting content, copying the primary selection to 
the secondary buffer for part of my workflow.

Aside:  Is anyone aware of anything that uses the secondary selection 
buffer.
