I believe GtkClipboard works fine on GtkFB currently. If Bonobo
clipboard APIs are built on top of GtkClipboard, instead directly
on top of the X selection API's, then they will also with with
GtkFB. If they use X API's directly, then if someone ports 
Bonobo to GtkFB, they'll need to port that portion as well.

But I don't think using Bonobo clipboard API's on GtkFB in a single
process is really any more likely than people using Bonobo
for embedding with GtkFB.
