Comment:
I never noticed this behavior, but now that you point it out I think you
are right. I tested with xterm and it behaves like you suggest:

launch two xterm, select something in one, click so that the selection
goes away, middle click in the other xterm -> text is pasted

In other words the clipboard should not be cleared when the selection
goes away.

Note however that this bug comes from Gtk (GtkTextView widget which
gedit uses), not gedit.
