Peter,

The copying is supposed to work both ways.  Make sure that you are 
actually performing an action in an X act that will cause copying. 
Also, try copying it twice or copy something else in X, then copy what 
you want to copy and see if it works.  Let me know what sort of work 
around you come up with.
