gtk-clipboard-wait-is-text-available (clipboard)

clipboard -- a gtk-clipboard object

True if there is text available, false otherwise.

Test to see if there is text available to be pasted. This is done by requesting the "TARGETS" atom and checking if it contains any of the supported text targets. This function waits for the data to be received using the main loop, so events, timeouts, etc, may be dispatched during the wait.

This function is a little faster than calling the gtk-clipboard-wait-for-text function since it does not need to retrieve the actual text.
