The following sequence triggers this bug:
1. Press ctrl+c (copy) when there is no selection.
2. Press the middle mouse button.
3. Try to quit from LyX.
I've managed to find the bug: in request_clipboard_cb() in WorkArea.C,
if the clipboard is empty then clipboard_read is not set to true,
causing an endless loop in WorkArea::getClipboard().
I've attached a patch that fixes this (it should also be fixed in 1.1.5fix1)
