That's not a request, that's a grizzle. :)  What would you like it to

It's selected so that the contents are in the cut buffer and you can
paste them in an xterm with middle-button.  Possibly I need to check
that control-C (or command-C under macos) is properly bound to copy.

That came in with some changes that make gitk start up correctly under
