Of course it isn't GNOME's fault if xterm has shonky cut-paste behaviour, but that really only serves to back up my point — don't blame the system if one (or a handful of) apps happen to behave contradictorily to its conventions. I'd never heard of the projector problem, but given Linux's unreliable track record with multiple monitors, I'm not surprised people blame Linux. The problem as stated doesn't define whether or not the projector is actually at fault or not, so we can only really start diagnosis where intuition leads us.
