Clipboard.setContent

Sets a new content provider on @clipboard.

The clipboard will claim the GdkDisplay's resources and advertise these new contents to other applications.

In the rare case of a failure, this function will return %FALSE. The clipboard will then continue reporting its old contents and ignore @provider.

If the contents are read by either an external application or the @clipboard's read functions, @clipboard will select the best format to transfer the contents and then request that format from @provider.
