That is not at all the question.
Neither I want to know how to copy from vi to system clipboard buffer.
(Which I have been doing very well)
My question is when the clip board buffer is occupied by some arbit

does not transfers the content from "+ or "* register to x11 fields.
This does works once but if you interrupt then it does not work.
