Accepting this for 6.3.
Comment 6 Karel Srot 2011-12-23 10:43:25 UTC 
Some more details...

When copying text from some applications (e.g. mentioned gtk-demo dialog box) with Ctrl+Insert it seems that the text is stored in some "strange" clipboard. 
I can see the text in glipper and I can paste it to the gnome-terminal but I am unable to paste it to gedit,firefox,dictionary.. applications. These applications are pasting a different content instead.
