copying text to the clipboard in unix assumes the doc encoding

Hi,

in AP_UnixApp::getCurrentSelection(), when we are requested for a text
format, we are not specifying a encoding for the IE_Exp_Text, so it is
currently returning the text in the doc encoding.

if ( AP_UnixClipboard::isTextTag(formatList[j]) )
{
        IE_Exp_Text * pExpText = new IE_Exp_Text(dr.m_pDoc);
        if (!pExpText)
                return false;

        pExpText->copyToBuffer(&dr,&m_selectionByteBuf);
        DELETEP(pExpText);
        goto ReturnThisBuffer;
}

I think we should always export as UTF-8 in this case, as the formats
accepted by AP_UnixClipboard::isTextTag or don't have a specific
encoding or have to be UTF-8.

So I propose to change that code to

IE_Exp_Text * pExpText = new IE_Exp_Text(dr.m_pDoc, "UTF-8");

Do you think it is a reasonable assumption in Unix to return in UTF-8
all text requested by the clipboard?

Regards,

Tomeu
