Cut-Paste is a function of the X server. The app you're cutting from
needs to tell the X server that a "cut" buffer is available for testing,
and your "paste" target asks the X server for data. This is why you can
cut-paste between apps running on different machines.
GTK+ normally handles notifying X when you select something in one of it's
widgets, but it doesn't always work.
