Copy/paste seems to work a little differently with Emacs.

Emacs has access to the OSX clipboard through 'CTRL-y'
(i.e. yank), but the X11 menu bar does not show a "paste" command
available when there's something copied onto the clipboard.

When copying from Emacs, you *need* to use the X11 menu bar
Copy. Select the bit in Emacs using the mouse (not Emacs' own
method of placing stuff in the cut-buffer), use X11 menu Copy,
and then paste the scrap elsewhere (frex in Apple's Terminal
window, which is what I used to test this out).

I was never able to get this to work with Emacs: I think I ended
up using pbcopy and pbpaste instead...
