If you are after compiling against osx "frameworks" (instead of the GTK fink
package, etc...) then I think you should try the official GTK-OSX download:
http://www.gtk-osx.org

It's the official *pre-compiled* framework, than you can use with something like:

CFLAGS:
-I/Library/Frameworks/Gtk.framework/Headers
-I/Library/Frameworks/GLib.framework/Headers
-I/Library/Frameworks/Cairo.framework/Headers
-I/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Headers


LIBS:
-framework Gtk -framework GLib -framework Cairo -framework Carbon

It's quite straightforward and removes the need for X11.

I can only recommend GTK-OSX, I'm very happy with it, it works great, although I
build it myself, because one can't make an OSX bundle using the framework yet.

Hopefully, this may solve your clipboard problem. And if it doesn't, please note
that GTK-OSX devs provide various (optional) integration utilities for such
things as handling the OSX menu bar, ..

I'm sure they've already done all sort of things with the clipboard. There is a
forum for support questions. Homepage: http://gtk-osx.sourceforge.net
