You can just use the second button of your mouse, like in other X11
apps.  

The thing is that, unlike window, X11 has 2 (maybe more?)  temporary
buffer for killed (cut), or copied text :  

 - the usual (from windows point of view) one that you describe; 
 - another one! which work with underline.

Say, you've just underline some text with the mouse in any app (even
in your term), you just then middle-click (or SHIFT-INS ) to paste it!

The relevant variables in emacs are:
 - interprogram-cut-function;
 - interprogram-paste-function.

A last thing, try C-u, in a X app like moz.  Try also, some of the
classic keyboard shortcuts from emacs everywhere, they often run (C-k,
...)

Hope, this help.
