Here is an example screen capture and repeatable bug of the clipboard
breaking.
Synopsis: Copy from Windows, highlight text in gedit, clipboard breaks
(paste doesn't work). Proceed to copy from gedit and suddenly that text
gets pasted. Sometimes it will just start pasting while a selection is
being made.. ??
