Are you aware that data in clipboard is gone once you close your
application? I think that might be the source of your problem. That's
how X server works and I don't think you can work around it.

I am, the application is still open and I use the following call:

gtk_clipboard_store( gtk_clipboard_get( GDK_SELECTION_CLIPBOARD ) );

Thanks, Andy
