Yes, GtkHTML (and therefore CscHTML) supports normal X style copy/paste
operations.

Right now the only differences between GtkHTML and CscHTML are the
following:

GtkHTML requires GNOME and several other libs (gnome-print, gconf, oaf,
bonobo, corba, gdk-pixbuf, libart, gtk, and many more!)

CscHTML requires gdk-pixbuf, libart, and gtk.  Thats it!

CscHTML has added support for <font face=fontname> tags, plus a
programmers API for "set default font" and "allow font switch"	This lets
an application developer force a specific font on any HTML document,
overriding the documents own font selections.  (ie: in CSCMail, the "use
this font to view messages" option now WORKS! hehe)

CscHTML's perl bindings have been updated to support the new font
features

Some people have noticed that CscHTML seems to be a little faster than
GtkHTML, but there is no concrete proof of this.
