 Do you mean calling gtk_editable_paste_clipboard for say GtkText doesn't
paste anything if something is cut to clipboard in *other* app?

 If you mean for all windows including other apps' ones, see man XGrabKey
 Gnome panel uses it for shortcuts like Meta-R => "run program" prompt.
 And it works fine (in gnome-1.4 only, previous versions had severe problems
which I fixed). See the source (grep gpanel's sources for XGrabKey).

HTH.
