The reason I used the gdk_display_get_default() is that the gtk_clipboard_get_for_display() required a display object as a parameter. I didn't realize that the gdk_display_get_default() was only available in GTK2.2 and above. Therefore, it didn't occur to me that I should use the gtk_clipboard_get() function instead.  I agree that the gdk_display_get_default() should be replaced as you suggest. I'm a newbie to GTK and still stumbling.

The reference info I used is here http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-Clipboards.html.
