William I think you are absolutely correct.

I don't want to change the Clipboard object into a "completely dynamical" object (it would query GTK for clipboard at the instant when the text is used) -- the reason is simple, it could create race conditions in the code since the object's value could be accessed (and then changed) at any time. We can't call GTK at just anytime in the code.

Maybe we can find another change notification to solve this. I have gvim, and maybe able to try it out.
