It works for me.

Unlike many other apps, the X11 clipboard doesn't integrate with my GUI 
clipboard manager Clipman. That is, if I drag over text in Evince, it *does* 
copy into the X11 copy/paste buffer, but *does not* replace the regular 
Ctrl-C clipboard, and does not show up in Clipman's menu.

You may consider that either a bug or a feature :-)
