Ctrl-y copies url into primary selection, which is different from
clipboard. I've attached a patch that changes this to use clipboard, if
you'd prefer that.
There is also a program called autocutsel, which allows synchronization
between primary selection and clipboard.
You'd add something like this to .xinitrc:
autocutsel -selection CLIPBOARD -fork
autocutsel -selection PRIMARY -fork
Which will essentially merge clipboard and primary selection. This will
be a global change, which might not be what you want.
