Not really. All we know is that these tools and LyX bump into one another. It might be related to the way LyX communicates with the X Clipboard. Interestingly, KDE's klipper, with the same functionality, does not show the problem, so it is probably both related to the specific way LyX deals with the clipboard as well as with the way Clipman/glipper query the selection.
