No, I'm not talking about the middle mouse copy, but copy and paste from 
an X app to a
GNUstep.  Please make sure you can copy text on an X app and paste it on 
a GNUstep app.

For xedit to copy text, specifying a region with mouse is enough 
(clicking mouse and then dragging it).

I'll try GSOldClipboard, but I'm not sure this is a cause. As far as I 
checked, xSelectionNotify
is not called when X-to-GS copy and paste is tried.
