Okay,

My next question is.. what is the best way to convert this UCS2 string to
a format that I can use in Gnome/Gtk+ applications? (example : I want to
show the string in a GtkTextView/GtkText widget.)

OpenOffice.org also has a "text/html" target. This results in a correct
string. So won't this create an incosistent protocol? In application a it
gives me an UCS2 string, in application b it's a normal one :-\

heh...
