Hi Sara,
When you quit vim in X11-based systems, you lose any data that was copied from vim to the system clipboard. You can find more information about this bug and how to fix it at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClipboardPersistence.
I'm not 100% sure but I think this is an X11 security measure. So I'd check that out before diving too deep into the Vim sources...
