Gnome Terminal Patch

Originally from Tomba's Blog, a patch to add PuTTY-like copy on select and right-click paste to Gnome Terminal in Ubuntu. Use ctrl+right-click to bring up the original Gnome Terminal context menu.

I built the patched version on 64-bit Ubunty Trusty 14.04, Gnome Terminal 3.6.2.
