This might be extraordinarily simple, but I am playing with Emacs (22.1.1) and I can\'t get it to paste text in the clipboard using Control-Y.
OS suse 12.2 - emacs default version 24.2-15.8.2 (x86_64) just ignored pasting from clipboard by ctrl-y Finally problem resolved by down grade to version 23.3-15.5.1 (x86_64)
