Owner of Selection

Any owner returns at least the following atom list when XA_TARGETS is requested on some localized text:

• Atom code set of current locale

• COMPOUND_TEXT

• XA_STRING

When XA_TEXT is requested, the owner returns its text as is with the encoding type of the property set to the code set of the current locale (no data conversion). An atom is created, representing the name of the code set of the locale.

When COMPOUND_TEXT is requested, the owner converts its localized text to compound text and passes it with the property type of COMPOUND_TEXT.

When XA_STRING is requested, the owner attempts to convert the localized text to XA_STRING. If the text string contains characters that cannot be converted to XA_STRING, the operation is unsuccessful.

XA_STRING is defined to be ISO8859-1.
