I was about to report the same problem. Up to 2.12, the only way to get
at it is to directly dereference the data member of the GtkDataSelection
structure. 

This is the kind of pure overhead that I dislike in gtk and would not 
happen in other languages, but I hate C++ even more (I wrote one program
with gtkmm, but am not going to repeat the experience).

BTW: what is the proper way to only recompile part of gEDA when chasing
this kind of bug. For now I have only found `make install´ which recompiles
everything even when it has not changed.
