I was discussing this issue in gnome irc and someone pointed out another issue, which may be related:
As mentioned already, when "xclip -selection clipboard" is used, you can paste in gedit (for example) with Ctrl-V. But the "Paste" action is grayed out in the right-click and "Edit" menus.
gedit is used as an example, but the issues seems to happen in all other GUI apps such as firefox, etc.
