The design of the clipboard isn't rocket science here. Implement it
according to the way Windows does it. If an application wants to use
the selection method of copy and pasting, then it takes over the ctrl+c
ctrl+x ctrl+v shortcuts since it's most likely a terminal application.
But most other applications are not and the selection method should
therefore be disabled in the main clipboard implementation.
You may think you save time using the selection method, but it is NOT
intuitive. And we wonder why at the beginning of every year someone
announces that this year will be the year of the linux desktop and yet
it fails to come true. This is why. Users expect stuff to be working
properly and this is an example of something not working properly and
the developers not caring enough because it works the way they want it
to work and that's what matters to them. It doesn't matter to them that
to most end users, it is broken and not working.
