You're sure this happens for Foo != Text ? As this is not what I read
at <URL:http://select.riscos.com/prm/desktop/wimp/wimpcnp.html> :
"The ClipboardHolder module handles the Clipboard protocol negotiations
with other tasks and attempts to take control of any text (type &FFF)
files which are placed on the clipboard. This allows the ClipboardHolder
to provide this information directly to the WindowManager."
