Ouch, there were a number of fixes to the clipboard code in 0.9.x, but
those were for win32 clients. I didn't think those would affect Linux
clients...

First, please take a look at:
http://xpra.org/trac/wiki/Clipboard
Bear in mind that a number of things can interfere with the clipboard
code: KDE's klipper, VMs (VirtualBox, etc), synergy,..

IF you still feel like helping to debug this problem, please have a look
at this ticket to see what to do / how to test (long!):
http://xpra.org/trac/ticket/272
Generally, this is a good place to start:
XPRA_CLIPBOARD_DEBUG=1 xpra ...

Cheers
Antoine
