Copy and paste problem

Hello, dear Vim society!

I always want my vim more freely communicate with another applications on my computer. So after googling a bit and digging in vim help I found the next fancy option:

set clipboard+=unnamed

on Windows it does exactly what I wish, but on Linux it works
works only by half...

Then I copy or paste some text somewhere (not in vim) it by default stored in two vim select registers: "+ and "*. With above option enabled I can easily paste it then from "* into any of my vim buffers with p/P commands without specifying register. Thats really handful. But when I copy (yank) text in vim itself, the text now saved in "" and "* but not in "+ ! And when I try to paste text in another program the "+ register content (if any) is inserted and that is not what I want at all. So I either need to press mouse middle button to insert desired text from "*, or use context menu or menu bar in vim (to cruel) or explicitly choose register typing "+y.

May be I missed something? Is it possible to
to achieve the effect of above option but with "+ register instead?

Thanks in advance!
