What could work is copying a single column of numerical data. If I
'edit/copy' a single column in gnumeric, and start Octave (text modus)
in a gnome terminal, the following is possible:

First, type a [ :

octave:1> [

then, edit/paste from the terminal menu :

octave:1> [1
> 2
> 3
> 4
> 5
> 6

then, type ] and <enter> :

octave:1> [1
> 2
> 3
> 4
> 5
> 6]
ans =

   1
   2
   3
   4
   5
   6


It also works in Octaves graphical interface.
