Linux window managers and desktop environments often have several
clipboards going on at once.

Often when those say it's copied you can paste it by doing ctrl-v or
right click and pasting, like Windows.

I almost never use that one, I use the one that gets rendered by middle
click, and it's annoying as heck.

It's possible it simply doesn't work in Linux because the flash copier
tries to put it someplace it can't.
