--  <description>
--  This package implements support for the selection mechanism (ie a way to
--  get a currently active selection anywhere on your Xserver or on your
--  Windows machine).
--
--  This also acts as the low-level support for drag-and-drop, as described
--  in Gtk.Dnd.
--
--  A lot of subprograms in this package work on Gdk_Atom types, instead of
--  strings. Converting from one to the other can easily be done through
--  calls to the subprograms in Gdk.Property (Atom_Intern and Atom_Name).
--  The reason we use Gdk_Atom is for efficiency, since comparing two integers
--  is of course faster than comparing two strings.
--
--  The selection mechanism is the primary mechanism by which applications
--  can transfer data to each other on a given system. Even though both
--  applications must be visible on the same screen, this does not mean that
--  they can access the same files or ressources, since they might in fact
--  be running on different machines. You should always keep this in mind
--  when setting the data to be transfered.

--  A selection is a essentially a named clipboard, identified by a string
--  interned as a Gdk_Atom. By claiming ownership of a selection, an
--  application indicates that it will be responsible for supplying its
--  contents.

--  The contents of a selection can be represented in a number of formats,
--  called targets. Each target is identified by an atom. A list of all
--  possible targets supported by the selection owner can be retrieved by
--  requesting the special target TARGETS. When a selection is retrieved, the
--  data is accompanied by a type (an atom), and a format (an integer,
--  representing the number of bits per item).
--
--  See also http://standards.freedesktop.org/clipboards-spec/ for
--  more information on the way selection works on X-Window systems.

   --  Target is a string that represents the drag type. This can be any
   --  string if you want to implement drag-and-drop inside your application.
   --  However, if you want to communicate with other external application,
   --  you should use MIME types, ie "text/plain", "text/uri-list", ...

   --
   --  Info is an application-assigned integer (i.e. that you choose), that
   --  will be passed as a signal parameter for all the dnd-related signals,
   --  like "selection_get". This saves a lot of expensive string compares,

   --    This signal is sent to the owner of a selection whenever some other

   --
   --    This signal is sent to the receiver end of a selection, when the data
