(Get the code!)
Actually the way windows and OS X does it is if its text, its copied to the clipboard. If it's something larger like part of a graphic like photoshop does, they monitor the source. If the source is closed, that question pops up asking if the user wants to keep it in the clipboard. If they click yes, then it gets copied to the clipboard. If they click no, it simply is closed without anything further. If it's a file, its location is remembered only in the clipboard and that it is to be copied or cut no matter if the source window is open or not.
But fixing it in glipper is NOT the answer. That is a bandaid solution. It needs to be fixed in the Xorg layer where it is implemented in the first place, so that it is fixed for all DE's like gnome and kde.
