OK so here's my Bonobo Clipboard idea: let's keep the current CORBA
interface, but do the storage of the actual pasting/linking moniker on the
X (GTK+) clipboard. So if application A asks for the clipboard in
text/plain the Bonob clipboard does the necessary magic to get this data.
If application B asks for the clipboard in bonobo/pasting, it gets the IOR
of the pasting moniker. ANd so on.
So is there some example code available for setting the clipboard
`asynchronosuly' i.e. by setting up a callback which can decide if a given
format is supported at the time a request is made?
