On Linux/Unixes there are two clipboards: the X selection clipboard (select/middle click), and the GTK clipboard (ctrl-C/ctrl-V or, in terminals shift-ctrl-C/shift-ctrl-V). They are usually not persistent (if you unselect or quit the application they're gone), thus the need for a clipboard manager to handle persistence. In your case I have the feeling that when the application is quit, the selection is actually emptied, and it is then propagated to the GTK clipboard. I'll forward this upstream so they can have a look. Regards, -- Yves-Alexis
