Control+X works just fine, as does Control+V.

Control+C does not, nor does Control+Z (which is the *most* important
thing in this this bug report!).

To reproduce:

1. open a chat window
2. type something in that chat window
3. type Control+Z to "undo".  It does not work.

As far as copy, that seems to be working at the moment, but when I filed
this bug I was unable to get it to work, just working with the UI in the
standard way.  However, that's really also not anywhere near as
important as implementing undo.  To see the real problem, copy and paste
this ¶ into Empathy.  Then highlight it, and type "a".  Then go "Oops!"
and type Control+Z to get it back.  It won't work.  Now imagine having
that problem _while_ typing it, and you can see what the issue is.
