2.24 copy-paste does not work (win32)

See a related bug report here, for a product called Zim: https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/783388 My custom pygtk application is able to copy-paste into other applications when I use the pygtk all-in-one installer version 2.22, but in 2.24, when I copy within my program (using either Ctrl-C or right-click->Copy) and paste into Notepad, nothing happens. NOTE: the previous clipboard contents appear to have been cleared, but nothing is pasted. This is using standard GtkTextView and GtkEntry widgets, and I am unable to paste into any of the standard Windows applications.
I think you'll be interested in this thread I started on gtk-devel-list as GTK+ 2.24.5 comes with the fix for the bug you describe: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2011-July/msg00012.html
I can confirm 2.24.0 is effected by this bug, for all win32 GTK apps that use this library version. Is 2.24.5 going to be released any time soon to gnome website?
This is also happening for me also under windows 7 64-bit.
PyGTK All-in-one installer 2.24.1 has been released and comes with GTK+ 2.24.8 so this should be fixed now. Release announcement: http://www.daa.com.au/pipermail/pygtk/2011-December/020179.html Downloads: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pygtk/2.24/
The GTK 2.24.8 released I found to have non-working check and radio boxes. They appear but are invesible on screen. Existing .gtkrc files seem to be partially ignored, so I can't theme them into working. I nede to figure out if it is possible to resolve within the gtkrc file.
