a little question: I copy some text on a tty console by gpm, and I
want to paste this text into some gnome/kde session. How to do this

If I understand your question, I've never been able to get this to work.
I think the context for gpm is erased or reset when switching from
consoles to X and vice versa. I haven't actually researched what
actually happens, so there could be an answer to your question, and I
look forward to hearing it if there is.
The cut/paste buffer for gpm is maintained by gpm and is a separate
space from the cut/paste buffer provided by your desktop manager. They
aren't designed to share data. I suppose they could by using some
shared memory segment with a well-known handle or something, but
currently they're entirely separate.
