Comment(by godiard):

 I was looking at this issue, I think we are affected by at least two
 upstream bugs related to clipboard management. This is a important
 usability feature, then we need solve it.

 The first issue we need solve is replace

  clipboard = Gtk.Clipboard()

 by

  clipboard = Gtk.Clipboard.get(Gdk.SELECTION_CLIPBOARD)

 Is used in the following files:

 src/jarabe/journal/palettes.py:        clipboard = Gtk.Clipboard()
 src/jarabe/frame/clipboardicon.py:            x_clipboard =
 Gtk.Clipboard()
 src/jarabe/frame/clipboard.py:            gtk_clipboard = Gtk.Clipboard()
 src/jarabe/frame/clipboardpanelwindow.py:        self._clipboard =
 Gtk.Clipboard()

 clipboardpanelwindow.py is related with this ticket (visual
 representation)

 Doing this change we receive the signal "owner-changed" but are affected
 by this [1] upstream bug.

 The other upstream bug affecting us is not related with the visual
 representation, but with the use of Clipboard.set_with_data [2], used in
 src/jarabe/journal/palettes.py and src/jarabe/frame/clipboardicon.py
