Thanks a lot,

I was struggling with GtkBindingSet stuff (rather poorly documented and
without usage examples) when I found that GTK+2 has an easier way to do
that through .gtkrc-2.0:

binding "custom-text-entry"
{
    bind "<meta>v" { "paste-clipboard" () }
    bind "<meta>c" { "copy-clipboard" () }
    bind "<meta>x" { "cut-clipboard" () }
}

class "GtkEntry" binding "custom-text-entry"
