What were the contents of the clipboard when you did this? (also remember that linux has two clipboards -- the selection/middle-click buffer, and the "real" Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V clipboard buffer. I forget which is actually used here...) If you have a POSCAR/CONTCAR formatted file in your clipboard, Import Crystal from Clipboard will load it into Avogadro. Similarly, Edit->Copy while a molecule with a unit cell is loaded will place a POSCAR onto the clipboard. CONTCAR/POSCAR files can also be opened using File->Open. For VASP 5.2+, only the CONTCAR or POSCAR file is needed. For earlier VASP versions, the POTCAR file needs to be in the same directory to get the atom types correct.
