Just to be sure: What exactly do you refer to as clipboard here? In
X11 we have PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD, in Windows we have only one
Clipboard.

How do you paste in Linux? Middle mouse button or selecting "Paste"
from some menu?

I have changed/fixed the clipboard code in NX  some months ago. Does
downgrading to nx-libs 3.5.0.27 change the behaviour? Maybe I broke
something...

Also, do you have any clipboard manager running in the MATE session?

And it would help to know if this happens for other desktops, too.
