If within Emacs I "Copy" throw context-menu, then I expect I could paste
the copied thing in the same way. I expect C-y not <mouse-2> action.

And if I copy from the browser, the context's menu paste must do the
same and take it from the clipboard right? That's what a normal "Paste"
do.

In my case I use the xclip.el package from Stefan, so, everything could
go throw Yank in my case. But that's a different beast.

It is just there... what do you mean?
