Thanks, but I don't understand why doesn't gtk.gdk.Atom map to an X
atom automatically? Also I think this is related to the problem I
having trying to implement copy/paste in that I'm doing :

dib_atom = gtk.gdk.atom_intern("DIB")
requester = gtk.gdk.window_foreign_new(event.requestor)
requester.property_change(gtk.gdk.atom_intern(event.property),
gtk.gdk.atom_intern("ATOM"), 32, gtk.gdk.PROP_MODE_REPLACE,
[dib_atom])

in response to a selection-request-event for TARGETS but the requester
is getting a BadAtom return from the XGetWindowProperty when it tries
to get the value of the property I changed.
