How to copy text in gitk

Question

Can I copy source code in the left-bottom panel in gitk? Any keyboard shortcut or other functions?

OS: Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop / gitk: 1:1.6.0.4-1ubuntu2

Thank you.<

I had trouble with this on Ubuntu (with Gnome) as well. However I found I could select text and then use 'xclip -o' to print it to the console (which I could then use/copy as normal). I guess the X clipboard is separate from the normal Gnome clipboard.
