Hi, this is brutal indeed; have you tried the previously mentioned workaround with setting the encoding: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-and-X11-primary-selection-aka-middle-mouse-button-paste-tp4800635p4800679.html
Interestingly enough I posted an answer to the original (your) thread but somehow it created a new one instead. http://forum.world.st/Re-Copy-past-doesn-t-work-sometimes-in-Chrome-semifixed-td4784604.html I saw that it's possible to get the content of x11 clipboard in C using > x11 libs That's what the VM does inside (there's a link to the VM code in the first link above).
