Almost a decade has passed since I last had to program using xlib
directly, and even then I didn't had to deal with the selections, but
if I remember correctly, there were not any way of specifying the
encoding of the clipboard, although I may be wrong.

I don't have gvim on my system, but my locale is set system-wise, it's
the same for any app, no matter how is it launched. My locale is
en_US.utf8 except for es_ES.UTF8 in some categories (LC_CTYPE,
LC_COLLATE, LC_TIME, LC_MONETARY, LC_NAME, LC_ADDRESS,
LC_MEASUREMENT). I don't think it is a locale issue.

It works, the problem only happens (for now...) if using Chrome. It
may be a subtle Chrome bug that only happens when using the clipboard
with Vim :?

I don't have gvim on my system :(
Thanks, Tony :)
