I'm guessing the reason is that gnome-terminal uses GTK+3. The release notes for 3.10 have this: * GDK has been changed to allow only a single screen per display. Only the X11 backend had multiple screens before, and multi-screen setups (not multi-monitor!) are very rare nowadays. If you really need multiple X screens, open them as separate displays. But, it looks like it was added back in (or at least support for the clipboard was added) in 3.17.6: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/gdk/x11?h=3.17.6&id=55edc81c10742bf3e410168f6dc317f8aca05938 -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 6FAB5CD5
