Hi,

I checked it with xsel. When I select something in any other app, it goes into 
the primary buffer, and is pasted correctly everywhere (except into wxmaxima). 
When I select something in wxmaxima, it doesn't get into any of the buffers.

I tried other wxWidgets-based apps: hugin and audacity, but they work 
correctly.

I don't think it is related to DE, but I use KDE4.3+Compiz, if you want to 
know.
