Ok, for the rest of the list: I have added the following comment to the
bug (http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2138):

------- Additional Comment #1 From Sven Schreiber 2006-01-30 13:23 -------

If technically possible, it would be great to fix the whole
copy/paste-from-the-OS-clipboard-issue at the same time.

I believe the external-copy/paste shortcoming is very serious because I
cannot
think of any other app with less support for system-wide copying and
pasting.
For most users, the shortcuts Ctrl-c,x,v are the first (and sometimes
the only
ones) they ever learn, no matter whether they are on Linux, Win, or Mac. It
seems likely that many of them discard Lyx after their first
copy/paste-experience. (Ok, this is a bit speculative...)

(obligatory anti-flame disclaimer: apart from that, lyx is great)
