Very little I expect unless you are using a Sun keyboard with Linux! Generally under X windows, you mark the text (either with the mouse or usiing the mark region commands - its useful to enable transient-mark-mode if you use the mouse), switch to the other application you want to paste into and hit the middle mouse button. Note that the 'windows style' Ctl-v usually doesn't work consistently - there is some trickery you can do using the xclipboard, but I've found it too much of a hassle to bother with and there are still some apps which don't recognize the xclipboard.
