📄 Description

This PRs aims to resolve issue #344, where Unicode characters pasted to linux client or server are replaced by question marks.

This is marked as WIP as I'm still investigating why the text/plain converter is selected instead of the Unicode one.

The current change is more like a work-around that disables plain text converters for
XWindowsClipboard. Did not notice side effects yet.
