 I'm used to selecting text and then pasting using the emulated middle

 This works most of the time but occasionally stops working and worse, it 
 does unpredictable things until re-boot, which is truly annoying. I'm 
 using Ubuntu 9.10
 
 Does anyone have any suggestions why this happens and what to do about 
 it apart from logging out/in?

I have found middle button emulation really bad to actually use.   I
would rather buy a cheap usb mouse than rely on it.
