When I copy a vector object (a path, text, shape, etc) and paste it into a new inkscape window, all editable attributes are lost.
What is actually pasted is a raster image.
Any ideas?

Mystery solved?
X11 preferences >> pasteboard >> Enable Synching [+]
When enabled only raster is clipped to be pasted anywhere in the OSX environment.
When disabled, objects' attributes are copied.
Is this an issue to tackle with X11? Whom with?
