but did you check with a debugger or try adding an "else rude message"
clause?.
It works, I even check it with gtk_clipboard_wait_is_image_available and that returns true! When I come back to get the image from the clipboard in the same application on an event using gtk_clipboard_wait_is_image_available it returns false. Does the image have a life span or something? Does it need to remain referenced in the application?
Thanks, Andy
