This was true in the bad old days, but in these enlightened times, all

the one discussed at http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/clipboards.txt

So things should only get better from here on out.
 
And when they get better, Evo and other applications can finally have a 
globally working cut-and-paste.  Until then, though, it's the fault of all 
the window managers for not implementing said common API.

Actually, the hard issues about cut/copy/paste aren't actually related
to this. They are more related to the difficulties of getting the
Cut/Copy/Paste menu items to be bound to all widgets, despite which
process they belong to.

Or, at least, this is the way I'm seeing the more difficult issues.
