Since around RH7.3, I remember gtk2 applications would sometimes be
unable to copy & paste between each other after long runtimes within a
GNOME session. Sometimes it would take a week of using GNOME without
relogging for this problem to manifest. Copying from GTK2 to kedit and
back to GTK2 would work, but not GTK2 to GTK2. Select and middle-click
would also fail. Then *something* else I do on the desktop makes the
behavior go away, and clipboard begins working properly again.
Today using FC3, I this problem still exists today.
Do other people experience this problem?
Is anyone aware of an upstream bug tracking this issue that has more
substance than my useless description above?
No, there is no upstream bug for this. (And I've never seen it (*))
If you track it down to something we'd have a prayer of debugging
(:-) please make sure to clearly distinguish
- The clipboard
- Middle button paste (primary selection)

May be useful.

(*) I have a vague memory of years ago seeing middle button paste
stop working for some reason and having to track that down
(it wasn't a GTK+ bug). But no hope of remembering what
it was at this point.
