Hi Neil, Thanks for confirming and pointing me to the git commit.
I file the report here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791443 . Since the commit you refer to breaks Gtk3 API, I suppose this is Gtk4 work, so could still be useful to have the fix in the Gtk3 stable branch. The repository also has extensive changes in clipboard APIs, replacing Gtk.Clipboard by a new Gdk.Clipboard interface which also seems more object oriented, so hopefully better compatible with python bindings. So when my application goes to Gtk4 I guess I'll have use that interface to re-implement my serialization logic. But for Gtk3 I'm stuck with the serialization func, because Gtk.Clipboard.set_with_data is incompatible with the python bindings.
