Multiple Copy&Paste issues (X11)

[rmottola]

Copy&Paste has multiple issues, especially when working with other applications (e.g. GIMP, LibreOffice...) Let me track cumulatively what works and what not.

Works:

• Copy&Paste within PRICE of small/medium sized images
• Copy&Paste within PRICE of big images (just fixed) in a clean status
• Copy from PRICE to GIMP of medium sized image
• Copy from GIMP to PRICE of medium sized image
• Copy from Ink to LibreOffice of Rich Text in a "clean" environment

Does Not work:

• Copy from PRICE to GIMP of big images (after a long while: There is no image data in the clipboard to paste)
• Copy from GIMP to PRICE of big images
• Copy from PRICE to GIMP of 16bit
• Copy from GIMP to PRICE of 16bit
• Copy from LibreOffice to Ink of Rich Text: only standard text is copied
• Copy from Ink to LibreOffice of Rich Text may have spurious information (e.g also copies an unknown image.tiff name) after playing around with copy&pasting

Just discovered that copying 16bit image from and to PRICE&GIMP does not work.
16bit PRICE->GIMP yields a broken 8bit image
16bit GIMP->PRICE yields a correct image, but converted to 8bit
