I think this works around the problem with the Win32 Clipboard and GTK+ 2.16. The problem appears to be that GTK+ doesn't choose the right (newest) clipboard contents when there are multiple available. The scenario I've seen is that I have a plain text clipboard that is newer than what was copied into a HTML clipboard, but the HTML is pasted instead of the plain text. (it is actually more complicated than that)

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the
HOWTOs in the "Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
