hi; GDK_SELECTION_CLIPBOARD is not available in the introspection data because it's a macro that evaluates to a complex expression, and cannot be parsed by the introspection scanner.
we are going to add simple wrappers for gtk_clipboard_get() in GTK+ 3.14, and those will be introspectable correctly. in theory, you could use `Gdk.atom_intern('CLIPBOARD', true)`, but in practice the GdkAtom type is also not introspectable because it's an opaque pointer. as for the documentation: we are in the process of generating all API references for all bindings based on introspection using the introspection data. we recently had a hackfest in Berlin on this very topic (amongst others) so you should be able to expect results and announcements soon. ciao, Emmanuele.
