OK, I guess I found a solution: I have had a similar issue with org-capture were emacs freezed as well. However, org-capture did work in xterm and I thought about some weird usage of the X11 clipboard manager. After doing some more research, I found [1]. According to Daimrod's Blog, the workaround is: (setq x-selection-timeout 10) This seems to work for org-ref as well as org-capture.
