You more or less have to do the same thing GtkEditable does; copy the
code in there for the selection_clear, selection_get,
selection_received handlers (though you can use callbacks connected to
those signals instead of writing a widget subclass). You must have
some widget that becomes the clipboard owner.

GTK+ 2.0 has a GtkClipboard object that's easier to use.
