yes, great !
pasting in inkscape doesn't seem to work on Lion, ie : Preview.app selection -> Inkscape
Confirmed: import via clipboard e.g. from Preview.app does not work in RC3 yet, and now is broken in GIMP too (local 2.8.2 build) if GIMP uses the patched GTK+ version (*). In GIMP, 'New from Clipboard' fails (nothing on the clipboard), or even may causes GIMP to crash when trying to paste raster image data copied in Preview.app into a new layer).

Gimp X11 -> Inkscape
Since pasting into Quartz-based Inkscape.app doesn't work from native OS X apps, I'd not expect that pasting from an X11-based application via X11/XQuartz pasteboard syncing service magically works, against all odds.
Pasting raster image data from X11-based applications also depends on the X11 preferences for the pasteboard: if off automatic syncing is disabled, as is recommended for X11-based Inkscape, the X11-clipboard data does not get synced to the OS X pasteboard anyway. If turned on, it is possibly to paste e.g. from an X11-based GIMP 2.8.2 into a Quartz-based GIMP 2.8.2 if using an unpatched GTK+/Quartz stack, but crashes GIMP 2.8.2 on paste if using the patched GTK+/Quartz stack.
Quartz-based Inkscape.app doesn't import from the clipboard yet (AFAICT it does not matter whether the clipboard content originates from the X11 sync service, another GTK+/Quartz based application or a native OS X application).
X11-support (or communicating with the pasteboard syncing service of X11/XQuartz) is probably not the highest priority for a new "native" GTK+/Quartz-based package of Inkscape - AFAIU first the support for the native (OS X) pasteboard needs to work in Inkscape (import and export of supported clipboard targets, and Drag&Drop from the Finder as well).
