I'm also running under GNU/Linux -- it's the latest Debian (9, which
is...  stretch?), but not with Gnome.  Instead I'm using xfce -- I guess
Gnome could get involved with the selection stuff somehow.

Another data point: If I select some HTML in Chromium,
(gui-get-selection nil 'text/html) returns nil.
