Hoary: Copy/Paste Not Working in Evolution

[Justin Speers]

I've had a similar issue start popping up today.  In my case, ctrl-c or
right click / copy weren't working.  They weren't putting data in the
clipboard.

When I went through the menu (edit / copy) viola!  It appeared.  I'm not
sure what's up either...???
