Yep, in Xfce Terminal, if you select something, it pushes it onto the X 
selection stack thing, and even after you clear the selection, it's 
still on the stack and pops it off when you middle click. Is this 
working in any other GTK+ programs that are using the same GTK+ version? 
It doesn't work in Mousepad for me (using GtkTextView), but it does from 
Xfce-Terminal (using VTE).

Maybe it's some GTK+ bug?
