That is dependent on the application itself.  These are X11 applications, so most will let you middle click to paste.  Others will paste with key combinations like ctrl-v or shift-ctrl-v

They should behave the exact same.  I'm not an emacs guru, but perhaps you had a custom configuration file which you need to copy over.  Try sshing to your linux machine and running emacs remotely.  It should look and feel the same.
