What is the value of `interprogram-paste-function'?

Just start a fresh Emacs, type M-x report-emacs-bug RET and
write down the following information:

 * How you started Emacs.

 * What you have on your clipboard and how you got it there.

 * That (x-selection-exists-p 'CLIPBOARD) returns non-nil.

 * That (x-get-selection 'CLIPBOARD) returns nil.

That should be a good start.
