Depends on whether you want to copy into our out of putty, but it's
essentially the same thing.  Here's what I did: 

open putty
log in
did an ls just for some text, highlight the text, this copies it to the
gnome clipboard. 
open gedit
middle click to paste the text. 

down lower in gedit, I typed ls -l
highlighted that, right click copy
middle click in putty to paste the ls -l into the window.  Worked like a
champ. 

Getting used to the middle click paste takes some getting used to, but
it does work.  Not sure if it can be changed, but that's the way to
copy(cut) and paste in putty in Ubuntu.
