sh*** pressed enter per incident.
If you use eclipse copy and paste works sometimes not. I googled a while and found the link above, describing the problem and working workarounds quite well.

I confirm this bug is present on KDE 4.3.1 and eclipse galileo

Turns out it was not a duplicate (of that bug anyway). 

This is an eclipse bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=153809. It
seems to be on it's way to be patched, so that is good.

For future reference, the broken gtk function is
"gtk_clipboard_set_with_data()" and the working one is
"gtk_clipboard_set_with_owner()".
