I'm a little confused here, earlier I got the hint that you were
quite versed in GTK+ but now your asking questions in a different
direction.

GTK+ handles `clipboard' like copying and pasting with selections
I assumed you were familiar with selections?  The clipboard functions
are basically convience functions that you can use if you only
care about things on the GTK+ side, but you want to manage the
stuff locally right? In that case you need to look at GTK+ selections.

They are coverted in the tutorial, consult the GTK+ tutorial first
about handling selections. It's a bit lengthy but its worth learning!!

Because once you know selections you can manupulate data and handle
DND with ease.
