In my example, I use Konsole.  I cannot highlight the text and paste
it into the VM.  Instead, I highlight the text and right click within
the window.  Here I have the option to `copy' 

I can go into the VM and `paste' this text into my application.

If I want to move text from the VM to X, I `copy' within the VM and in
my X application (let's say Konsole again), I right-click and select
`paste'

If it's pure X, you don't have to do the above, you simply highlight
and middle-mouse button to paste.

The difference is implicit (X) versus explicit (X <-> VM)
copy/paste'ing.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,
