Re: [bug #4658] Broken gpbs when doing pb operations between GS and X

[Fred Kiefer]

Hi Pete,

I did my orignal copying from the UTF8 page with konqueror, which does 
not have this problem, doing it with Mozilla showed that we still need 
to support more of the X selection interface. The error I do get here is 
a bit clearer than the one you list:

Unsupported data type 'INCR' from X selection.

And INCR is a rather complex X selection transfer mode, which really has 
not been implemented up to now (Checkout section 2.7.2 of the ICCCM 
standard). I may look into this later on, but any help here is really 
appreciated.

Cheers
Fred
