Thanks for the information! The whole section on x11 clipboard integration can be found for quick reference at http://vim.dindinx.net/vim7/html/gui_x11.txt.php#x11-selection
Since this is behaviour declared in the help but not working, it's a bona fide bug then. I found one confirmation with workaround in the wild: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2831024/vim-terminal-copy-to-x-clipboard-and-paste-while-suspeneded Would anyone running a Gnome-based system like to confirm the bug? The bug doesn't have anything to do with Gnome, it's an X issue. I'm trying to fix the problem, however, by using gtk functions and specifically targeting Gnome settings daemon's clipboard manager for testing because it fully supports the freedesktop.org ClipboardManager specification. -Sarah Strong Tony: sorry for the repost, I replied to you privately by mistake.
