Make sure that you aren't selecting text in the Emacs window,
either using the usual Emacs commands or the mouse, before you
try to middle-click to paste. That's about the only potential
problem I can think of.
Also: by default, Emacs puts the text at the point where you
middle-click, not at the current cursor position. You can
configure this, though.
