I think that your problem is not related to Linux or Gnome but to X-Window which has several ``clipboards'' and Java only knows about the clipboard named CLIPBOARD. I don't use Gnome but I use GNU emacs and for example, GNU emacs needs to be explicitly configured to use the clipboard named CLIPBOARD. Not being a GNU emacs expert, I didn't find an elegant way to do that so I use nedit to cut and paste text between a text editor and XXE (shame on me). See also http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/faq.html#xterm which gives the solution for xterm. May be it can give ideas for Gnome (.Xdefaults resources).
