Erk. Gnome hasn't shown problems previously, at least not with its 
normal builtin clipboard manager (in gnome-settings-daemon). The way 
xfce fixed their problems was by basing their new clipboard manager on 
gnome's!  However, I do not see any problem with gnome 2.30.2 on my 
system.  I don't know what gnome version Chong Yidong was testing with.

Just in case: Are you running anything else "clipboard related" on your 
system? Say an alternative/extended clipboard history (may show up as a 
little clipboard icon in your system tray).
