Comment:

 Have tested in jhbuild and Browse is opened. We have a problem here, as
 Write offers copied text as UTF8_STRING, STRING, text/html, TEXT,
 text/rtf, COMPOUND_TEXT, application/rtf, text/plain,
 application/xhtml+xml.

 The algorithm for choosing one data type is choosing the first text/*,
 that in this case is text/html.

 In this case choosing text/plain or application/rtf looks more
 appropriate, but this algorithm perhaps should not know anything about
 Write or abiword.

 Eben, Marco: should we add a rule to the HIG or whatever that says
 something like "activities that offer editable text should offer
 text/plain and optionally application/rtf"?
