Copy & paste between X Quartz and 'regular' Mac applications works
reasonably well for me with everything checked in the X11 Preferences
Pasteboard tab.

My main complaints are that  'regular' Mac applications cannot do Focus
Follows Mouse and simply selecting text in a 'regular' Mac window does not
put it into the clipboard ready for pasting (but the other direction does
work). There is also the occasional focus stealing from an X window by
some  'regular' Mac application.

I prefer using Linux with Xfce, but I have made my MacBook work in a
similar way.
