Well, I went digging through the gtk source. There ain't no gtk_clipboard_store any more, and a grep on the type said this: [~/src/gtk(git:master)]fleet2*> agf GtkClipboard NEWS.pre-3.0 5465:* GtkClipboard 5525:* GtkClipboard 6751:* Add types for GtkRowReference, GtkClipboard [Jonathan Blandford, James Henstridge, Owen] docs/reference/gtk/migrating-3to4.md 427:### Replace GtkClipboard with GdkClipboard 429:The `GtkClipboard` API has been removed, and replaced by #GdkClipboard. 485:The convenience API for specific target types in `GtkClipboard` has been 488:| GtkClipboard | GType | So I'd say you've got a version 4 Gtk kit. You say you need help with the gtk3 clipboard - maybe your dev stuff isn't version 3? Here's the relevant bit: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/blob/master/docs/reference/gtk/migrating-3to4.md#replace-gtkclipboard-with-gdkclipboard The architectural issue you're dealing with (aside from the API change) is that a clipboard needs to be stored somewhere. The basic X11 clipboard stuff stores it on the server in some global properties (there are 2 flavours of that, too, one with a primary and secondary clipboard and anthor with a ring of 10 buffers). For added fun, the clipboard is owned by a particular X11 client - when the client goes, so does the value, in part for cleanup and in part because in principle the client is involved in returning the contents, as you're supposed to be able to indicate what kind of contents you need (a float, some text, some rich text, maybe an image) - the clipboard's a reference and the client supplies it on demand. >From earlier comments in this thread I gather Gtk supports a special client which is a clipboard manager, which stored stuff for people. Possibly persistently (means, to me, over a logout/login or alternatively just beyond the life of the client the clip came from). Anyway, the above suggests the API have changed. See the web page above for the stuff you're meant to use now.
