I have found that the only way I can cut and paste between X-apps 
and Carbon/Cocoa apps is to use the application xclipboard (an X 
app).
I can highlight text in say Xchat and that highlighted test will 
automatically go into x-clipboard. Then i can highligh that text in 
xclipboard and do standard cmd-v to paste into Carbon/Cocoa apps.

In the reverse direction:
highlight text and cmd-c in a carbon/cocoa app
cmd-click in xclipboard
highlight text in xclipboard
cmd-click into whatever xApp you want.

Not exaclty the most elegant solution, but it works !!

BTW- this is probably best addressed in Fink Beginners
