Hi, again! Thanks, Alan and Emmanuele!
I look forward to seeing the API references. Will there be an
announcement on this list, or should I subscribe to some other channel?
And about the specific problem... Is there some way that I can "copy" a
string to the current/main clipboard, so that it can be pasted later (in
another program), using the current JavaScript API?
When I try to use `clipboard.set_text' (after having initialized
clipboard with `new Gtk.Clipboard()'), I get an error saying "Widget not
within a GTK window".
