 There are 2 selections in X (accessible by user) - primary and secondary.
Primary is when you Ctrl-C something in some app, secondary contains the text
you just select with mouse. Add to that that Qt selection support is broken
horribly (may be you are testing with some Qt app).

 Could you please open any gtk app (better some editor), select something,
then Edit->Copy, and then call gtk_editable_paste_clipboard - does it paste
something? It should.
