@David Siegel, I don't think that the amount of discussion should be a factor on whether this is a papercut or not, nor do I believe that there are "divergent opinions" on this bug - everyone is pretty much saying the same thing - copy/paste in linux is laughably broken and has been for many years. The only divergence of opinion I'm seeing on this bug discussion is whether glipper/parcelite/etc are suitable workarounds. The common message seems to be that they are not, so this is still a papercut for nearly every user of linux, let alone Ubuntu.

Sure, perhaps this entails too much work for a papercut, but your stated reasons for changing its status are (I think) invalid.
