There is another disabled combobox in the keymappings (scheme).
Does it look disabled?

Ok, the internal cache works.

So, the internal cache works and aquiring the primary-selection also. The synedit gets the middle mouse button. The bug seems to be an incompatibility of the clipboard format.
Can you copy from another editor? e.g. gedit?
If not, then plz activate in gtkint.pp the 
{off $DEFINE DEBUG_CLIPBOARD} to {$DEFINE DEBUG_CLIPBOARD}
and recompile the lcl.
Write a small lcl application with the line 
PrimarySelection.AsText;
And send me the output.

I think, the LCL should handle bmp, xpm and ico format. Hopefully I will manage to get it compatible enough, to use all the Delphi graphic units. Can't say, when it will be available. Hopefully in two months.

And many more.
But not in the LCL. This will be achieved just like Delphi via units.
