How can I copy the selection to the clipboard automatically in the GNOME terminal?

I want to make the 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 should be in the X11 clipboard. (Not the same as the GTK clipboard). Press middle-click to paste.
