How common is UTF8_STRING support these days? Can we rely on all
interesting apps supporting it, or should we also try to handle the
older non-utf8 X text formats by doing the conversion ourselves?

Although I haven't met an "interesting app" not supporting UTF8_STRING (can u 
find one?), we can support older text formats conversion (actually we did it before and 
removed it;). Is it interesting enough?

I have been doing some reading up on X11 copy paste and if I've come to
understand things correctly the old non utf-8 ay of doing things is
a mess and a pain. So I think it is best to just not support it.

Regards,

Hans
