No mater what I try to copy from I can only paste this
http://xp-vista->update.net/?id=91873534231, which feels a lot like some
kind of malware to me.  Has any one else seen this?

Do you use rdesktop? If so, that is probably your problem. I have
noticed and reported this problem before. I can only replicate it with
rdesktop when I am cutting/pasting between Linux and the Windows
rdesktop session. I can copy paste within the rdesktop just fine, but
none of the copies will copy out to Gnome. Gnome just pastes the same
thing over and over again regardless of where the copy was done (or how.
Eg: shortcut keys, mouse, or menu).

 

The solution I found was to close rdesktop, and then everything works as
it should; even when you reopen rdesktop. 

 

Of course, if you are not using rdesktop then sorry. I have never seen
this problem outside of it.

 

Good luck!

Have Fun!
