Indeed, I found  that already using a small application called GClipper
which does exactly that.. I guess the target for the HTML-text is
"text/html" but when I change the target to that I only get the character
"<" as selection-data :


In a function that loads the preferences : mwin->selection =
gdk_atom_intern ("CLIPBOARD", FALSE); or
mwin->selection = GDK_SELECTION_PRIMARY;

...

In a function called "Get new selection" :

 targets_atom = gdk_atom_intern ("text/html", FALSE);
  do
  {
    convert_successfull = gtk_selection_convert (
	GTK_WIDGET(mwin), mwin->selection, targets_atom, GDK_CURRENT_TIME);
    /* Let Gtk process all the pending events before continuing. */
    while(gtk_events_pending())
    {
       gtk_main_iteration();
    }
  } while(!convert_successfull);



"on mwin selection received"   (GtkWidget       *widget,
      			GtkSelectionData *data,
			guint            time,
			MainWin          *mwin)
{

	data->data is now just "<"
}
}

Also, when I make a small application that loops all targets and
g_print()'s all the target->data's then I don't see any HTML (I do see
text in the target's called COMPOUND_TEXT and TEXT and ... but nothing in
the text/html; etc

These are the targets that I have tried :

COMPOUND_TEXT : Plain text presentation of the HTML-document MULTIPLE :
Nothing
STRING :  Plain text
TARGETS : The list of available targets TEXT : Plain text (with some stuff
missing like ^(TM)) TIMESTAMP : 0
UTF8_STRING : Plain text
text/_moz_htmlcontext : "<"
text_moz_htmlinfo : 1
text/html : Nothing or "<" sometimes
text/unicode : \n
