Description Marc-Andre Lureau 2014-05-27 13:42:09 UTC 
When dealing with multiple clipboards (using same callbacks), it would be quite nice to have way to distinguish the selection. I am looking for something as simple as:

GdkAtom gtk_clipboard_get_selection(GtkClipboard *clipboard)
{
  g_return_val_if_fail (GTK_IS_CLIPBOARD (clipboard), GDK_NONE);

  return clipboard->selection;
}

RFE => severity=enhancement
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2016-03-06 17:11:30 UTC 
if you turn it into a patch, that would be fine with me.
