Hi Brett,

I should have mentioned that no errors are reported, but in 7. the text from 4. 
(and not 6.) is again yanked into the buffer.  I can also replace 7. with:

7a. Go to a terminal and run 'xclip -selection clipboard -o' to confirm that 
the text from 6. is on the clipboard.
7b. Run `clipboard-yank' and the text from 4. is again yanked into the buffer.
