[Thunar-dev] Clipboard management

I'm on the ThunarClipboardManager class right now, and wondering what 
targets should be supported by Thunar.

For example, Nautilus supports the x-special/gnome-copied-files and 
UTF8_STRING targets, while only the further can be used for both cut and 
copy. With UTF8_STRING, the clipboard content will be a plain 
text/uri-list with no information about whether the data should be 
copied or moved; that said, it's up to the target to decide what to do 
with the uris.

So, Thunar will atleast support the x-special/gnome-copied-files and 
UTF8_STRING (mainly useful for pasting URIs to editors, etc.) targets.

Does anybody know of other targets that would be worth to support?
