cannot copy clipboard to other applications

Dear listers,

Strangely, I can copy clipboard from other applications to emacs (eg with gedit C-c and then C-y into emacs) but NOT from emacs to other applications (eg M-w in emacs and then C-v in gedit does not work). Character coding is utf-8.

After some googling I replaced the line

(setq selection-coding-system 'compount-text-with-extension)

with

(setq selection-coding-system 'compount-text)

in the ~/.emacs file but it did not help.

I am using Emacs 21.4.1 on Ubuntu 6.10

Any hint?

Patrick
