Add a gntclipboard. You can select text in a textview with the mouse, and paste it in an entry with ctrl-v (or rebind GntEntry's clipboard-paste). If you use the s.so WM, pressing alt-shift-c ("toggle-clipboard") will toggle display of the clipboard contents in a possibly easy-to-copy-with-the-x-mouse window. This includes a plugin which interacts with the X selection, which is not built by default.
