any easily accessible gtk app that displays any issues? I just tried with
firefox, gimp and gedit, and all just work. I assume the selection dcode is
quite similar in them.

I tried installing wmcliphist, but since I don't have easy access to
libglib-1 anymore, I couldn't install it.

Yes.

How did you come by with the specific urxvt binary? Did you compile it
yourself?

No, the selection works just fine between gtk+ apps and urxvt in
general. I have not found any instance where it wouldn't work.
