Huh? Gtk 2.3 works great on windows. Also, what is this comment in relation 
to? In GTK 2.x clipboards, you don't get the first format GTK presents you 
with. You get back whatever format you select from the available Targets. If 
you fail to import that format and you don't select another format from the 
target list, that's your application's fault, not GTK's.

Why and how would inkscape help here? What you want is a SVG backend to 
gnome-print.

I'm not of that opinion.
