On mine, it does, as long as it's told to do so. By default, xsel
operates on the PRIMARY selection. That's *NOT* the selection
Gnome uses, when it operates on the clipboard. The Gnome clibpoard
operates on the CLIPBOARD selection.

What I do is, that I pipe a text to xsel and give xsel the options
that it should read from standard input and should operate on the
clipboard selection. Works fine.
