GTK clipboard problems

[Warren Togami]

Since around RH7.3, I remember gtk2 applications would sometimes be 
unable to copy & paste between each other after long runtimes within a 
GNOME session.  Sometimes it would take a week of using GNOME without 
relogging for this problem to manifest.  Copying from GTK2 to kedit and 
back to GTK2 would work, but not GTK2 to GTK2.  Select and middle-click 
would also fail.  Then *something* else I do on the desktop makes the 
behavior go away, and clipboard begins working properly again.

Today using FC3, I this problem still exists today.

Do other people experience this problem?

Is anyone aware of an upstream bug tracking this issue that has more 
substance than my useless description above?

Thanks,
