Nice to know.

I'm using Xfce's clipboard manager `clipman` indeed. And in Xfce's "Default applications" settings, I see 3 occurrences:

 * application/x-geda-gsch2pcb-project (set by me to run `gedit`)
 * application/x-geda-schematic (set by me to run "gEDA schematic editor")
 * application/x-geda-symbol (set by me to run "gEDA schematic editor")

Thanks to your hint, the issue is now solved. I've updated the second and now gschem does paste! I assume the stored application path was invalid. Now everything works even with Xfce's clipboard manager plugin active.

Have a great day,
