Things like cut and paste are dealt with at some levels by the Window
manager and at others by the underlying X11 and sometimes by the
application.  So yes, it is important to know what desktop you're
running.

Have you tried just running Evolution on a standard Gnome desktop
rather than using Mate or Openbox or whatever.

Also, how are you doing the cut and paste? Ctrl-X/Ctrl-V? Right click
menus? Highlight and middle click? Edit menu?

Finally, can I just check that you are running two separate X servers
on the two monitors and not just spanning your desktop across two
screens?
