How about this? Please note that I don't know if this is the
responsibility of GTK, nor of the underling GDK, nor of each
client program.
Could you send it (after polishing English) to a proper
person/group?
This is a strong request.
When a selection owner reacts upon the request of type
COMPOUND_TEXT and the selection data (text) contains a
character that is not encodable by COMPOUND_TEXT, the owner
should not replace such a character with '?' nor strip off
the charater silently. Instead the owner should send back
the XSelectionEvent with the `property' member None. That
way, a requester can request the different type, e.g.,
UTF8_STRING, TEXT. Otherwise, the requester has no way to
know that the received data is the correct one or not.
This is a less strong request.
When a selection owner have to convert Unicode characters to
some other legacy charsets (ISO-8859-X, JISX0208, GB2312,
etc) upon a request of type COMPOUND_TEXT and there are
multiple choices (e.g. some HAN character to JISX0208 or to
GB2312), it is better that the owner chooses a charset
supported by the current locale with the highest priority.
