Fixed, thank you. I was confused by GIMP's logo at www.gimp.org and
toolbox's caption. Do you want bugzilla entries for both of them?

Not that I know of.

A couple of days ago Igor Novikov from sK1 team contacted me about
this also and suggested to work out a uniform file format for
clipboard exchange. He mentioned png/jpg/tiff for bitmap clipboard and
eps/ps/svg for vector clipboard as possible formats.

The way they (sK1 team) are doing it in their applications now is as
following. A copied selection is stored in e.g. ~/.sK1/ and clipboards
is fed with a string like <sK1>~/.sK1/file_name. Cache with such
entries is cleaned up either manually or automatically upon
start/close of application. Each application has its own cache.

You can find his contacts in the list of contributors at
http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/index.php/Shared_resources (just
like yourself)

I believe that create's mailing list is a better place for discussions
of clipboard exchange standard, I just don't know if both of you are
subscribed to it or have fun for reading another mailing list (I dare
to hope you do in this particular case :).

Anyway, feel free to add another section to Shared resources spec or
create a new spec beginning from
http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
('Specifications' section). It's a wiki after all :)
