Out of curiosity, are you running with -clipboard?  If so, does this still 
happen if you start X without -clipboard?

I've had some trouble with X fighting over the clipboard with other apps 
since sometime during the first few 6.8.x releases, and have recently been 
foregoing clipboard integration until I have a chance to investigate 
properly (especially since I don't know how to reproduce it consistently).
