Found this from : http://www.vergenet.net/~conrad/software/xsel/ cut -- Make the selection contents persist in memory
Normally the X selection only exists as long as the program it was selected in is running. Further, some buggy applications tend to forget their selection text after a little while. If you run: xsel --keep after selecting some important text, xsel will copy the text into its own memory so you can paste it elsewhere even if the original program exits or crashes. -- cut If a simple/old program can do this, couldn't this be integrated in gnome window manager ??
