It should be all about properly formatting things for the clipboard,
so that other apps understand the bullets, and the other way around.

Unfortunately, I know very few about how clipboard works (in
particular with rich text), hence I can't tell how hard it is.

noteeditor.cpp should be the place for this. We don't do anything
specific for copy paste, it works out of the box with exception for
some rich formatting. You probably should connect to copy-paste
signals in there and do some extra work.


I might look into this bug, but not this release cycle as we're less
than month away and I have plenty of other things to do.
