A question regarding gtk_clipboard_request_text

["Wang, Yong Y" <yong y wang intel com>]

I think it would be helpful if the documentation can add some notes about this issue.
What do you guys think?

Thanks
Yong

See http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2005-August/msg00030.html for details.

Yes, see 

static void
request_text_received_func (GtkClipboard     *clipboard,
                            GtkSelectionData *selection_data,
                            gpointer          data)

in gtkclipboard.c there is string g_free (result).

the selection data is freed just after the exit of callback. It's better
to strdup it if you are planning to use this string later.
