Drag-and-drop with the mouse works also without xclipboard. 

  In some LyX versions, you need to copy (C-c with cua.bind) the marked
  region, before you can paste it somewhere else (with the middle mouse
  button).

However, you will loose information this way as the x-selection only
gets an ASCII version of the document.

Feature request
---------------

I would greatly appreciate a lyx-function (say x-copy) that passes a
"stringified" version of the region with full formatting information to
the selection and an accompanying x-paste that inserts this again.

The same would be a great help for the lyx-server (say server-copy and
server-paste).
