 Replying to [comment:2 jfuhrer]:
 > Sure, though I'm not quite sure of what exactly copying an entire
 journal entry to the clipboard should be doing. The HIG isn't quite clear
 on it - I'm assuming that it just attempts to copy the entire contents of
 the activity you were working in - copy all text if you were working in
 Write, the whole image if you were working in Paint, etc.

 Yeah, this is my understanding and also what I implemented.

 >Either way, though, the creation of a blank icon with no indicator of the
 type seems problematic.

 Yup, this is a bug in sugar's clipboard.

 > When I found the problem I simply typed "Test" into Write, closed the
 activity, looked at the Journal entry for my Write, did "Copy to
 clipboard," and then tried to paste the selection back into Write. So,
 unless copying a journal entry to clipboard doesn't do what I think it
 does, it should have no problem pasting text into Write. If copying a
 Journal entry does something more complex, then, well...it needs an icon
 of its own at the very least.

 And not pasting the text is another bug, but what I meant is that we're
 going to have lots of bugs related to things not pasting where it is
 expected. We need to enter a separate ticket for every combination of data
 type and activity.
