Doesn't work here either.

Even normal pasting into email doesn't work, i.e. I just pasted the
above quote with ctrl-shift-v into evolution's composer, but pasting it
without quotes with ctrl-v doesn't work!

xclip -selection clipboard -o

works fine.

Incidentally, just using the middle mouse button to paste the "primary"
selection into the terminal works, but ctrl-shift-v will try to use the
"clipboard" selection, which doesn't work, even though it is not empty
as xclip shows.

The "primary" selection is properly updated by epiphany when I just
select text, and according to xclip (as above) the "clipboard" selection
is also updated when I use ctrl-c, but the result is evidently
incompatible with a bunch of programs.

This follows (b) of

I suspect that gnome-terminal and epiphany just don't agree about the
atom type transferred, but I can't seem to figure out how to debug that.
