For Gnome2 :
Checkout the new GtkClipboard object which is specially designed for
this purpose. You can also checkout the sourcecode of one of my
projects: Gnome Clipboard Manger uses the clipboard a lot (of course)
module : gcm-2 in cvs

For Gnome:
Checkout module gcm in cvs of the same project. You have to use
(one of these events) :
selection_get, selection_clear_event, selection_notify_event
selection_request_event, selection_received
I think the one that you need is "selection_received".
