Nope the text is copied to the X-clipboard ONLY in a copy/cut operation not
on selection. And this is done on purpose because the copiing of selected text
to the clipboard can be quite heavy (think of a external-inset which converts
a graphics to an ascii drawing!). So this is NO bug it's a feature :)

Well I know where it might be and we'll fix this eventually till 1.2.0 comes
