I'm looking at finishing up the Copy/Paste/Clipboard/D&D work that Richard Hult 
mostly did in 2008. 

Most of what's missing has to do with selections. There's a laundry list of Gdk 
functions that aren't implemented, and of course the "generic" Gtk selection 
functions are implemented in terms of the unimplemnted Gdk ones. 

So the "obvious" thing to do is to implement the Gdk functions.

But.

The structure of that part of Gdk follows very closely the X11 way of doing 
things, and Cocoa Foundation's way of handling selections and clipboards (which 
they call pasteboards) doesn't line up very well with it. It seems to me that 
it might work better to just make a gtkselection-quartz.c and implement 
everything directly, ignoring Gdk entirely, much as Richard did with 
gtkclipboard-quartz.c and gtkdnd-quartz.c. 

What do you all think?

Regards,
John Ralls
