*sigh*

"copy" and "clipboardData" may be unreliable on Linux it seems. The copy 
function and clipboard is complicated in Linux and for some reason the 
KDE clipboard utility, Klipper, does not copy data from LiveCode using 
either "copy" or the clipboardData on my system. It works when Klipper 
isn't running, though.
