The clipboard has been ticking me off lately, so I plan to have it
working mostly properly by the end of the weekend.
I added a new constructor for both TEXT importer and exporter which take
in an szEncoding argument. The UNIX clipboard uses both of those with
"UTF-8" as the szEncoding argument now.
Now, we do post UTF-8 data to the clipboard for now under the text/plain
alias, which sucks. We also get potentially non-UTF8 data from the
clipboard and pretend that it is. This also sucks. But this is an
improvement over our current behavior and not any worse than what we
currently do.

I've finished rewriting the AP layer (AP_UnixApp, AP_UnixClipboard). I
need to finish rewriting the XAP layer (XAP_UnixClipboard) to use the
following 2 functions:
gtk_clipboard_set_text, gtk_clipboard_wait_for_text
Which deal with UTF-8 text for us. If another app requests UCS-2,
ISO-8859-1, JIS, ... GTK+ will do the conversion for us, which is quite
a big win and will allow for things like Chinese data to be pasted
plain-text on the clipboard.
After that, I need to handle CLIPBOARD vs. PRIMARY selections better, as
I don't think our GTK2 port is capable of pasting to or from PRIMARY,
which really sucks. After that, maybe I'll work on HTML import and a
more-generic clipboard layer based around mime-types. No promises.
