It shouldn't be difficult to have a configuration option for GPM to not allow 
cut/paste to different VCs.  That plus an option to flush the buffer on 
logout will prevent the use of gpm for relabelling while allowing most of the 
functionality you desire and not requiring as much work.  I'm sure that some 
non-SE Linux users would appreciate such a patch too.
