I want to make gnome-terminal behave in such a way that when the end user selects a region on the terminal (with a mouse or mouse key), it gets automatically copied into the clipboard. Is it possible at all? If so, how?

it's possible.

sudo apt-get install parcellite

then in the settings check "use primary" and "synchronize clipboards". it works.
