Why does x-get-selection default to 'STRING? Is that sensible behavior?- (let ((primary (x-get-selection 'PRIMARY))) + (let ((primary (x-get-selection 'PRIMARY 'TEXT)))Would it make sense to have x-get-selection default to 'TEXT instead?
TEXT can be in any encoding which can make it diffcult. Nowdays I think the default should be UTF8_STRING, and if that fails, try TEXT and then STRING.
But I think the application should not offer STRING (which implies Latin-1) if the data isn't in latin-1.
