Thanks. That did the trick.
The only difference now (from Fedora-21) is that if I click an entry
in the Clipboard and then want to paste it into a text file,
I have to right click and choose Paste from the options.
Previously I could just center click.

Incidentally, why would anyone NOT want to keep clipboard and selection
in sync? Shouldn't this be the default?
